Have you ever been to a family reunion or do you avoid them?!


Question: I love my family reunions! I come from a large Irish family and every Christmas we rent a lovely Victorian clubhouse on a local golf green for the "McGeary Family Christmas". And in summer we have the "McGeary Family Picnic". More people attend the Christmas event as some are on vacation during the summer months. My grandparents raised 7 kids in a small 4 room house and as our families grew we'd have to visit at Christmas in shifts. Eventually we rented halls for the gathering, but have now been at the same pretty location for the last 5. Grandpa died in the 1970s and grandma passed 4 yrs ago, but we keep up the tradition. It's important to us. When I was a small girl the picnics were on the 4th of July. We'd be at the park by 10 am and wouldn't leave till after the fireworks. It was awesome. My grandparents had 7 children, 24 grandchildren, 17 and counting great grandchildren!

not since my grandma died...that was the last time all of us got together and that was in 1996...maybe one day we will but for now everyone is too wrapped up with their lives

I have been to many and since then I try very hard to avoid them but sometimes not so successful.

we try to get together every year and they are a drunkin blast!!!

avoid...black sheep here

We meet with our extended family at least once a year. I hate family duty though, and I try to avoid reunions; but there's only so many excuses you can give!

Last time we met was February to commemorate my grandfather's death (1998), and I'm going to a cousin's wedding in June. Different sides of the family though.

i've been already...

We have one every 2 years, and its like a vacation since its out of state. So i enjoy them ;]

Ive been to quite a few. They are boring on the one side. Its all old people in their 60s. The other side was always at this farm and they would have many activies like canoeing, carriage rides, food, and people of all ages.

I don't go as much as I used to anymore but they arent all that bad.

yeah last year up in New England
and we live in Texas so we had to FLY, that was fun and a little scary!!!
but it was awesome to see how much some of our cousins had grown!!!

I would avoid reunions like the plague__________Not for me thanks...

I always go!

I have not been to one ever i dont think there is a country big enough to hold all of my family lol and loads of my family are spread around so it is kinda hard.

I avoid them completely. I hate to admit I am even related to most of them. I have one sane cousin and his wife and my brother and his family.. other than that they are a scary, redneck bunch of hillbillies.

Im afraid I try to avoid anything to do with family get togethers, I have to handle them one or two at a time.
Its the questions and analysing that gets me. I just hide in the bedroom for hours.

you could be a red neck if you go to a family reunion to meet women...........oops, i'm sorry....thats another topic altogether.

I would go if it was mine but if it was a girl friends or wife I would no go.... it would not be fun for you
