Most of the family members were busy the whole year for work, study, or business endeavors so it is just fitting that everyone is present during Christmas as a way to celebrate all the joys and blessings received. You may enjoy celebrating with your closest friends but the bliss you experience could not be equated to anything if you have your parents and siblings with you at Christmas time.
