What happens if I get facts in my memoir wrong?

Post Body
If I try to write about my past, but can't remember everything correctly and get things wrong, how important is that? For example, if I remember a conversation as happening before Christmas, but it turns out it happened during July and I had just happened to watch a Christmas movie around that time, how important is that? Would it ruin a book if someone came out with some type of proof (ranging from an anecdote to actual receipts) that it didn't happen as I remember?
