My favorite memory would be the time when I spent my holiday with my love in Vancouver couple years ago. First time ever been there and we had such a great time! The weather was perfect and we had our first ever sunset by the sea at the west coast. Too bad we couldn't do it again this year.

My favorite Christmas Memory

in 1970 I was 6 years old living in New Brunswick , Christmas eve we took our traditional drive to my Aunt and Uncles house for supper , When we arrived it was snowing so my Dad parked out at the end of the road , at the time it seemed like a long walk to the house . We had a wonderful time playing with cousins all afternoon . After supper we packed up to leave and started to hike out to our car, The snow at this point was so deep I remember my Dad had to carry me . The car was buried under the snow we were snowed in on Christmas eve !!! My worst nightmare !! Santa would never find me !! We went back to my aunt and uncles for the night , Early Christmas Morning My dad came back to the house he had shoveled for hours and finally the car was free and we were able to head home , I don't remember much about the drive home except the feeling That Santa had missed us  . When we finally arrived home I remember going into the house and to my surprise Santa had made it !! All the gifts were under the tree and our stockings were full , That is the year I received a green easy bake oven ! After that I truly believed there was a Santa for years to come after all Mom and Dad were snowed in with us !!    Merry Christmas Everyone and may 2021 be a year of healing and hugs !!!

One of my favourite memories as a child was getting a doll that could walk (assisted off course).  She was almost as tall as me.  Was the fad at the time. ❤👱🏻‍♀️

My favourite holiday memory is having a rum and eggnog with family and friends. Well considering it's only family this year 2 out of 3 isn't bad.

I went to a nearby hill with friends to tobaggan. There, we found that last night's thaw and refreeze (and previous patting down by frequent tobagganing) caused a very effective ice slide to form. So slippery that all you had to do was lay down to go speeding down the hill below. It was a childhood miracle. That was the best day ever.

I used to be a flight attendant, and flying from Asia to Canada, you gain a day.  The aircraft took off from Hong Kong in the afternoon of 25DEC and arrived Toronto early evening of 25DEC!! So I celebrated TWO Christmas Days that year.😍😍😍

My favourite Christmas memory was my Dad going outside making a whole bunch noise and holding a red flashlight pretending it was Santa and Rudolph outside the house.

Happy holidays everyone! 

My most memorable memory was spending our first Christmas evening and morning with our two young children.

My favorite Christmas tradition was reading twas the night before Christmas to the children before bed. The story was read for every Christmas and now my children read it to their children. Totally loved this tradition and so glad it was passed down to the grandkids.

My favorite Christmas memory happened when I was 5 years old.

My father was a horse trainer and we had an old-fashioned sleigh which he proudly

displayed on the front lawn each Christmas. The kind of sleigh that you see in movies;

white with high scalloped sides and leather seats.

He brought a pony home from the racetrack this particular Christmas Eve, harnessed him

to the sleigh and took all the kids, (and some parents) in our neighborhood for a sleigh

ride on the snowy streets in Etobicoke.

Magic!

Every year that you can spend time with family and not having to work... Yeah for holidays

 

Those white Christmas like this year are very special and seem rare in Toronto but most fond for me are those Christmas' spent down south on a beach. Christmas lights and spirit are around but not the cold just the beach and waves

My favorite holiday memory is building huge snow mazes on our front lawn and playing tag in them with brothers and sisters even when it was dark outside.

@jib_tech 

Lol....ok its not funny but **poof** the magic dragon disappearing bug got you on your second post? Looking at it I can only surmise it was length and no defined space between paragraphs. Thats what seemed to get me most often before I changed from the "wall of text" posts.
