On the other side of it, I just got out of a four year relationship, and my whole family adored him. I swear, he talked to my parents and cousins more than I did! Thanksgiving was a disaster with everyone wanting to know where he is, what he's been up to, etc, and I have a feeling that Christmas will be much worse. Its hard to go through a break up, and harder at the holidays when your family is bitter that they're being deprived of spending time with him.
