Christmas is about being with your family. To all you grinches go ahead hate the presents, the obligations, the capitalist propaganda and the religious fervour of the season.
If you have a family that wants you there, that hugs you when they open the door and shows appreciation for you being there you better take advantage of that. There are millions of people in the world that would literally die just to have a family for a little while.
You better be seeing your folks, you better give your uncle a handshake, share a drink with the in laws, tell your siblings you love them or even just a gentle pat on the back. The only thing that matters for these few days is spending time with your family when the season is darkest and when the nights are coldest.
