My best memory was Christmas 96, it was the last Christmas with both of my parents and the power went off just as lunch was to be cooked.
As the power didn't come back on until late in the afternoon we had a Christmas lunch consisting of salami sandwiches washed down with a rather nice Chianti.

We had a nice seafood lunch on Boxing day instead.
It started a standing joke to this day where we always put out a salami sandwich on the lunch table just in case of emergencies.
Cheers
