Distance makes holidays difficult
Traveling takes
time and money
some don’t have
By S—n McCarthy
Staff Reporter
The traditional family gathering
for the holidays is becoming less com
mon as family members are increas
ingly moving around the country,
UNL family science professors said.
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.
Santa Claus hooks himself up to Internet

Forget using the postal service to
send your Christmas wish list to the
North Pole. Santa Claus has an e-mail
address.
Children can reach Kris Kringle
through the Internet by sending mail
to santa@northpole.net. And this
Santa writes back.
Children also will be able to read
other messages from Santa, his elves
and his reindeer and get a North Pole
weather report. The address is http:/
