Over here, it seems to vary for both the part of the country as well as cultural backround. I find up north, the Irish and Italians families put alot into keeping the family together. Heck, they even hug each other each time they see each other. My family was never much into the hugging. :>(

Down here in the south (mostly Scotch/Irish), the families tend to stay in the same place and are always getting together. Also, especially with the black families. I really envy those families that enjoy just hanging out together.

IT's really odd, even my wife's family (old swamp yankees), don't do much talking. Just the other day Cindy was on the phone with her Mum and they had a very long delightful conversation. I told her she should really call her parents once a week. I don't speak with my parents or siblings but maybe once every three months.

All for what it's worth!
