Being away from home can be tough at any time of the year, and it’s particularly difficult during the festive season. Every year many aid workers spend Christmas away from loved ones, so how do you plan to mark the holiday? Are you recreating your favourite family traditions? Decorating a DIY Christmas tree? Or are you spreading the yuletide love by adapting to local customs and celebrations?
However you plan to create that festive feeling, we want to hear from you. Please send us your pictures and stories by Monday 19 December using GuardianWitness, and you may be featured on the Global Development Professionals Network.
You can share your photos, videos and experiences by clicking on the blue “contribute” button on this article. You can also use the GuardianWitness smartphone app or the Guardian app and search for “GuardianWitness assignments”. Or you can email guardianwitness@theguardian.com.
