well my family has a reunion at least twice a year one for all souls day and another for christmas. Its kinda few but our family is now growing and there are not any more children. I belong to the 3 generation of our family and almost all of use already finished college and just 3 that is still in college but will finish this year.
And in the 4 generation there is only one and already in grade school.
i think with time these reunions will almost lessen to zero which is not that sad for me because its part of life.

Rarely...most of my mom's siblings are in the States and can barely afford to come home on a frequent basis. But we do get to gather round once a year or once in every two years.
My father's side though, we get to see them more often but we don't really gather like in a reunion. The last time we had a really big one was I guess 6 years ago? A rich relative hosted it.

Well my family hate been away from each other for a long whileso we have reunions four times for the year. One in the easter period were we dedicate it to god, once in summer were its all fun,eating at a wonderful beach and twice in december at my uncles home. I really enjoy those times for we can get the chance to bond more.

On my father's side ,when usually have reunion once a year, that during december 27, here we younger generations usually prepared some special number for our parents and grandparents. this is also where we fall in line in order receive money from our uncle and aunts as a christmas and a new year gift. ^.^

The last time there was a reunion held with family relatives was in 1964. It will not be changing anytime soon. We are all a bunch of independent people, and apparently we all like it that way. You can pick and choose your friends, but relatives and family are forever.

We don't really have a regular family reunion.It just happens and we would be so fortunate if we are complete every other year coz my siblings live in different countries now including me.At first it feels sad not to be able to see them at least once a year but then that's how life goes as you have said it.It' s enough for me to know that everybody is living their lives fully.

My family has zero reunions in a year. I kinda think it would be cool to have a family reunion, maybe sometime in the summer. However, it's kind of an unrealistic thing because my relatives all live so far apart. I think that it would be cool to see some of my family who I very rarely see.

well alot of my family moved away one uncle and wife moved to devon and the other to derby. the ones from derby come up more regularly than the ones from devon. however not much more.
we do like to have a family party when everyone can attend which i usually every couple of years. and it is amazing when it happens. it usually takes place at my nans house which is suitable for us all.
