In human context, a family (from Latin: familiare) is a group of people affiliated by consanguinity, affinity, or co-residence. In most societies it is the principal institution for the socialization of children.

Extended from the human "family unit" by affinity, economy, culture, tradition, honor, and friendship are concepts of family that are metaphorical, or that grow increasingly inclusive extending to nationhood and humanism. There are also concepts of family that break with tradition within particular societies, or those that are transplanted via migration to flourish or else cease within their new societies.

As a unit of socialisation and a basic institution key to the structure of society, the family is the object of analysis for sociologists of the family. Genealogy is a field which aims to trace family lineages through history. In science, the term "family" has come to be used as a means to classify groups of objects as being closely and exclusively related. In the study of animals it has been found that many species form groups that have similarities to human "family"—often called "packs."

What special treats do you put in your families Christmas stockings?
Q. I am trying to think ahead for the holiday season. I would like to start some new traditions with my family this year, as my son will be old enough to be involved. I LOVE stockings and the goodies you can put into them. What are some creative things you put in your families stockings every year that they look forward to? I know what kind of stuff to put in a stocking. But what I want to know is what traditional things you either put in them or did your parents put in yours... Like the one about the christmas orniment every year!

A. Fatherless, as in the boy's natural father I suppose? I don't think it's inevitable that these boys should be more likely to suffer alcohol abuse but it tends to happen because raising a male with no mature, steady, dependable male around is hard for a woman to do. I've done it. A lot depends on the stability of those around the boy, the boy himself, the place he's in etc. A father who neglects and puts down his son is worse than no father, I'd say. It's all very complex.
