How often do you have get together with your family?

Well, before when we are still living in one roof we always have a family bonding.. We usually go to the "boulevard and stay there for a while".. But now that me, my niece and my older sister move from other city to find a job.. I don't know if when we will see each other again.. I don't know if we can be together this coming Christmas since the ticket is really expensive... It takes 3 days for us to arrive if we ride boat and if we ride airplanes it only takes almost 3hours.. Of course, I really missed all the happy moments that we share.. Actually, this is my first time living on my own without my parents.. So, I'm still homesick... But I'm trying not to be homesick and have fun with my job.. I hope that this coming Christmas we can stay with our family so that our Christmas will be very happy like before..

Now, I am a student and have much time , like summer vacation , winter vacation and weekend . But i prefer to have a job and earn money by myself , live a busy life . As what you said , I can understand your feeling , all the reason is that you are so busy,so cherish every moment that you get together with your family.

The members of my family were supposed to be in close ties before but since we moved to a nother place now, we seldom gather together as a reunion. We aew only getting together twice a year when we visit there and when we let them visit our home here.

When I still young before 20 years old, I always with my family. After school, and start working twice a year, I will go back to my hometown. After married, I just go back once a year.

now ,i am working far away from my hometown , so i go home every severy months ,it is very painful ,i miss my mother ,my father and my brother very much .but in order to not disturbe my job ,i stand all of these .

once in a year

I don't have many family get togethers I am afraid. The problem is that we are six family members now, but we live in five different countries, so it is difficult to get together. And when we do, like this past summer, it was only three of us and we were together for just one week, but it was sure special, entertaining and very relaxing! Two of us will get together in Australia next April, after 9 years of not seeing each other and we are sure looking forward to seeing each other again!

Family get-together is a good idea,but the most of time we are busy living,it is like you said.For me i live with my parents in another city,we are togeter everyday,but there is not my town,i just have my mather and fater,no other relation of mine here,i have been for two years,and i really wish i have a chance to get together with them,now i just call them when i miss them.So if you are togeter with you faimly,enjoy it,you will go out to make your career by yourself as you grow up,at that time maybe you don't get together with your faimly because of kinds of reason,now the faimly is important for me.

Well I'm not so often to get together with my family because I'm far away from them. Sometimes I could only together once a month. Well it's kind of situation that I really don't like coz I want to close with my family though we had our life each other. But you know I know them for all of my life and so are they, when i'm so far away l always miss them so much.

When I was younger we used to get together a lot of times in a year but lately since we are all grown ups and we all have our own separate lives, we rarely see each other for a get-together. One of the reasons is distance since we all live far from each other now. Though I miss all the fun and the memories of being with your family from time to time. This is really the reality, when you grow old as you live your own separate life, you tend to do less things with your family unless you live near each other... sad but true...

My extended family doesn't get together unless for a birthday or the holidays. Even then we sometimes don't see them because they also have other family. I have cousins that are grown and married and they have their own kind of things to do including aunts and uncles, etc. We have a very large extended family (that's just mine) and my husband's is just as big. Then I also have family on my dad's side, so they are everywhere! It's hard to get everyone together like that especially when it's like we really have 3 very large extended families. One of these times, I would like to get with my mom and grandma and set up a family reunion or something.

I havnt seen my extended family in 3 years... I hate it... when I was younger and now especially much, I wanted to have a good relationship with my grandparents and other family members... I never got that chance... and I want my family to be the one where we all eat together at the table, except maybe for special occasions... and I dont think we will have cable or satelite...I only want the basic channels..and probably c span... When we had disney channel...I watched nearly 24/7 I had seen all the episodes they showed, like 9 times before a new episode came on, and I watched them anyway.... I dont want my kids to be like that. I want them to go biking and build forts like I did in Green Bay... yeah....

Hey,, I have a joint family and we were living get to gather.We enjoyed lot when we were lived to gather.Every weekands we were going to outside for sight secenes and we will enjoy with our family and other family relatives.All members of our family members were good understanding nature. Now the other family as been shifted.I don't like this,I want every one should leave get to gather that will be nice.So happy moment!!!

I have dinner everyday with my family. Though, I must confess we are a small family, me, my father and my mother. My mother is a housewife and my father works at home and I travel to university daily. Basically, we get to see each other everyday. Is it fun? yes and no. Sometimes when we have too much of something, we take things for granted.

I have a very large extended family. So as far as all of us getting together at one given time it would only be on holidays and once a year at the family reunion. But part of us get together very often in the summer months. Just about every weekend I have a cookout during the summer months at my house. Part of the family will come at different times. So we are always in pretty close contact with the whole family. I have 2 cousins and one ant and uncle that live pretty far away and they only get to come in on holidays. Once in a while they will surprise us during the summer. I love having a close family. Last year at Thanksgiving I had to have two dinners becasue I don't have enough seating for them all! LOL I think we totaled 47 for the entire day that came to eat at some point. I hope you get to spend the holidays with your family!
