I've known families like that. :)
You say that you've grown very close to them, and that surely says something good about you as well? You've become part of their lives by their choice and yours. You can't help who you're born to.
I think the thing that I most took from those families is a vision of what I want in my family. I can't say we have taffy pulls or that we always eat delicious meals at the dining room table and I don't think we glow at all. But hugging and "I love you"'s and nightly reading are part of our family in part because of those wonderful families that let me into their lives - if not all the way then at least enough. They helped make me who I am today.
It sounds like a wonderful Christmas. :)
