How would you define dinner, and are you taking that together as one family?

The word dinner is originally from the Old French 'disner' that means 'breakfast'. Eventually this term shifted to referring to the heavy main meal of the day. In some usages, the term dinner has continued to refer to the largest meal of the day, even when this meal is eaten at the end of the day and is preceded by two other meals. Today, there are many definitions of dinner according to different individuals depending on how they value 'dinner' to them whether this is taken in the beginning, middle or end of the day. In my point of view, I would define dinner as a special meal where I and my whole family eat together. And this is usually done at the end of the day, after work and after school. I put it in the end of the day because this is the time that the whole family is free together. We can talk together about what happens the whole day of work, of school, etc. The topic is happy and alive. In this time also we could have our bonding together. And how I wish this could be happening everyday to me, I am far from them so we could not take dinner as a whole family just in some special occasions like birthday, or holidays seasons. This days, I and my sister take our dinner together, but we are still happy for the blessings, for the food and the good health we receive from God each day. And we are talking about the rest of our family too, about their viands, etc. Now it is your turn, how would you define dinner? How often you take dinner together as one happy family?
