Douglas Abbott, associate profes sor of family ami consumer sciences, said changes in the job market were one factor that scattered family mem bers around the country. Come the holiday season, it is harder to bring those relatives back together. Even when families can organize and pay off a trip, the distance trav eled may strain a typical family gath ering, he said. “If you have the desire to see the family, you have to spend the time and the money to get to them,” Abbott said. Shirley Baugher, professor and chairwoman of family and computer sciences, said the time people spent over the holidays with their families who live far away was short and in tense. Baugher said repeating the fam ily feel of gatherings past is hard to day. Much has changed, she said. "We try to duplicate what we felt as children, and it is hard to do so," she said. Abbott said time spent with rela tives was annoying for some. But he said time over the holidays may be short enough so relatives don’t get on each others’ nerves, he said. ’■ It may be hard to get together for the holidays, but Abbott said some people feel the effects of their distance from their loved ones. ■, "We think of the holidays as be ing happy and fun with free lime on peoples’ hands," he said. "However, you may not have any close friends and families to share the holiday with.” Loneliness during the holidays can be positive, though, Abbott said. The time allows people to look for others who seem left out of the holidays and invite them into their homes, he said. Alternatives to the traditional cel ebrations with immediate family members are becoming common, Baugher said. Different groups of people, ranging from singles to single parents, have created holiday rituals with friends, she said. “It’s important to establish rituals whether you’re with your natural family or not,” Baugher said. The problems created by distanc ing, however, don’t have a large ef fect on students, Abbott said. Because the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has mostly students from Nebraska or nearby, students can easily get home for the holidays, Abbott said. They can hitch rides from others or go to a friends’ house over the holiday, he said.
