Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, the winter months are often a time for taking stock of the years gone by. Perhaps it's the chilly December days and cosy evenings in the warm that make this period so ripe for reminiscing. Whatever the reason, taking a look back at the past can help to give us perspective for the present, and perhaps even hope for the future.
We'd like to invite you all to share one important memory from around the Christmas period with the rest of the Online Community.
Your memory can be happy, sad, hilarious, touching - or even just something that really stood out to you. It might be a memory from your childhood, or it could be from last week. If it's important to you, and it had an impact, we'd love to hear about it.
To share your memory, simply reply to this discussion thread with an explanation of what your memory was, and why it stands out to you.
It doesn't have to be long, or detailed. It doesn't have to be anything profound. You don't have to use fancy language. Just share what's on your heart however you feel most comfortable, and I'm sure there will be members reading who relate to what you're saying.
Wishing you all the very best this Christmas holiday period,
Thanks so much to everyone who shared their memories with the Community. It's been so nice reading them all!
You're still welcome to share any other Christmas/New Year memories you have, but also if you have any ideas for other Community discussion topics, please do drop us a suggestion below. 
Wishing you a happy 2024!
All the best,
Matthew
