I don't know what kind of holidays you have in your country, but in the US,
holidays are great family events (for those blessed with families they like :)).
 Christmas, Thanksgiving, July 4th (big family barbecue time!!).  Frequently
these holidays are a time of reunions, especially in the South.

Regards,
Matt
