Family

There are many different types of families, many relatives, few, united, fought, young, old... Each family is unique, neither better nor worse. For example, my family is very particular, my father's sisters prefer to be with their families and with my grandmother, leaving us behind. While on the side of my mother, I have only one uncle, who loves to spend his holidays with his sister (my mother) and his only niece (me).
The fact that we are less does not make it worse, because at least, we know when we get together is because we really want and not by obligation. Perhaps I would have liked to have little children in my family and not be constantly surrounded by adults, but if you are all adults there is less noise.
On the other way, to have a small family becomes more difficult your social life with friends on holidays like Christmas, because you feel sorry for leave your family alone, or you take them with you, so in the end, you choose to stay at home with your family, and as you are the only "small", adults marginalize you a bit, with what eventually you run out of hanging out with your friends, away from your family and writing post for Prácticas de Redacción.
In conclusion, your family always will give their support in the sad moments and celebrates your victories with you, so as nothing lasts forever, try to enjoy your family while you can!
