Its crap that its just funerals, weddings and christmas that people make an effort.
If I said that there was a major pi55up at mine, free beer bbq blah blah SOME would turn up, yet if there is a death or a wedding EVERYONE would turn up.
I guess its just how things are...
I suppose I'm the same, if there was a pi55up at at mates house, I would try to go, but maybe I want to chill at home. Yet if there was a funeral or wedding, I'd be more inclined to go.
But its the ONLY time the WHOLE family gets together and it shouldnt be like that I guess...
