For many, long-term friendships, rather than family ties, are the foundations for sustainable lives.

If you go away with, you know, a girlfriend, wife, whatever, you have an argument on holiday because you're not used to spending that much time with people.

Friendships are fragile things, and require as much handling as any other fragile and precious thing.

During the holiday season, Christmas specifically, it can be hard to be away from family and friends.

After all, the best part of a holiday is perhaps not so much to be resting yourself, as to see all the other fellows busy working.

Friendship is one of our most treasured relationships, but it isn't codified and celebrated; it's never going to give you a party.

There's always a dinner to go to. There're always loads of people around. I was having fun working with my friends. For a while it all just kind of rolled together in a great way.

Friendship is a very taxing and arduous form of leisure activity.

My family and I are so close, it's important to have a close knit relationship and to make time to spend with each other, especially at the holidays.

Holidays are the best. I couldn't imagine being from a small family.
