Did you travel back to Ireland to spend Christmas with friends and family? If so, we want to know what you’ve been enjoying most, and what your impressions of the country have been.

Have things changed much since your last visit home? Was this Christmas different to last? How did it compare to those you had while you still lived here? How did you feel about leaving again?

Send us an email with your piece and photos to abroad@irishtimes.com with 'Home for Christmas' in the subject line. A selection of responses will be published next week.
