Favourite Christmas Memories

Cave Troll

Please share your favourite Christmas memories here.

I have a few which I think back on frequently. A few I remember well and some make me laugh and think of happier times. 

On one Christmas I went shopping with my little brother and we both had two bags each full of food and presents and then the worst happened. My bags split and everything fell out the bottom in to the snow.

We both froze, time almost stopped and then we burst in to hysterical laughter. Rofl We laughed all the way home. 

We still laugh about that now.

Please feel free to share some of yours.

  • One childhood Christmas stands out in my memories, I was aged about 12. My mother had just been released from a secure unit after being‘Sectioned’. My father, bless him had tried to make a Christmas and had done all the shopping. I don’t think he had ever been shopping before. We had some interesting Christmas presents. 
    my mother still wasn’t taking and just sat in a chair all day. I think she had been released just over the Christmas period.

    My father decided to decorate the tree, it looked like it had been vandalised. All of a sudden my mother just said,” for Christ sake, let me decorate the tree.” She was ‘back in the room’. Christmas had been switched back on and she remained well and was discharged after Christmas.

    Hi Roy,

    Thank you for sharing this in the thread. I'm sorry your mother was sectioned, I know exactly what it feels like to be in that situation. I hope she had a great Christmas after that. I love how she just snaps because of your father decorating the tree, I can picture it.
    I think my own mum would kill my dad if he even tried to decorate the tree that's "her" job no matter what.
