    Southern families are not entirely different from other families, but I believe that they have a stronger bond between them than most. That bond generally causes them to do things differently than the majority of families. I happen to be apart of a southern family, and we are extremely close to one another. My entire family frequently spends a lot of time together. We generally spend every Sunday afternoon together after church and we have dinner together. We usually spend time with one another during the holidays and other special events. On occasion we go on trips together. My family alone is one of the reasons why I feel that southern families have a strong bond.
