Were you or your children born on Christmas Day or New Year's Day?
Over the years, we have featured many photos of proud new parents whose children were born on these special dates.
A few of these photos are featured in our latest nostalgia gallery, together with pictures of Christmas parties for babies and toddlers born at our local hospitals.
Many children born at Colchester Hospital's special care baby unit have returned with their families for parties over the years, to meet up with staff and say thank you.
Youngsters also got a chance to meet Santa at parties organised by a baby unit support group in Bury St Edmunds.
If these photos bring back memories, email judy.rimmer@archant.co.uk or write to Judy Rimmer, Newsroom, 120 Princes Street, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP1 1RS.
