Ladies and gentelmen, I present...the mind of my father

Resolution of the question required some careful thinking about the value of the holiday's production. . . .There is a high fixed cost (travel etc.) associated with assembling a family. . . . These fixed costs explain why most families do not smooth the consumption of one another's company over the course of the year. But once the fixed costs have been paid, then it is optimal to maximize our interactions with one another. And the preparation of the feast is part of the consumption.

Full story here. To clarify, not written by him, but forwarded to me to remind me of what the holiday is all about. :)
