i just dont know what is the best.

i have an issue here.its about two things that means a world to me.its either friends or family..which should i pick?i cant have both at the same time.both are just priceless..if i choose friends,i wont be able to make it by 26th Dec for the feast and somewhat a gathering with my extended family..if i choose family,i wont be able to meet up my real good friends for the excitement..the thing is,i LOVE both..friends and family are just equal..or shall i play safe by not attending both..neither friends nor family,just me ALONE..i dont think thats good..i dont live a solitary life.
