Dear Cloverjo,
Why do you only have a get-together at Christmas and omit the rest of the year if you and your family enjoy it?
Please do not read this as in any way critical - that's not my position to comment one-way-or-the-other on personal relationships.
I just wonder why not get together on other occasions of the year as it seems to make you all happy.
Maybe the inhibitors are distance, cost or all working etc.
I personally understand your comment that there'll be fewer this year. Ageing of friends. relatives and indeed ourselves is not really much fun.
Ty for your comment, no need to reply of course.
Luv,
SIQ.
