I believe each person makes their own family regardless if it is relatives, pets, friends or who ever they choose. A family is the people you care about regardless of blood relations. And the center of that family is you individually and radiates out from that. I grew up with my friends as my family and the people I turned to when I needed a family.

To celibrate a holliday... I don't believe you need your real family around to make it a "holliday" Most all hollidays are old traditions that have evolved through the years anyway.. so why not change how a holliday is spent so that it sutes you. Start your own traditions and spend it how ever you like with who ever you want doing what ever it is that makes you happy.
