The importance of the family holiday

The Family is your backbone

Getting together with family is something that most of us look forward to. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the biggest family holidays in the United States, but birthdays, Easter, anniversaries, and funerals are also times which bring extended families together. Other cultures have other traditions, but many cultures place an emphasis on the importance of family. Some families have annual "family reunions" which serve to reunite family members who are separated by miles.
We are bombarded with images of happy families enjoying each other, especially around the holidays. The smell of a Christmas tree, the sights and muffled sounds of the first snowfall, the smell of candles, carols being sung - like family get-togethers, these seasonal sights and sounds and smells stir pleasant feelings in most of us, as we recall what it was like growing-up. They also stir up less-positive feelings in many people from the family.
