Lughnassadh also, in addition to being a time for friendly athletic competition, was a time of councils and meetings. When the lawmakers and leaders of the land would gather and talk over laws and the running of the land. The Saxons called this Thingtide.
You can apply this to your own family. Take the time now to gather the family and talk over the last year. The good times and the bad. Talk about the ethics of the family and whether everyone has met their New Year's resolutions.
If this is the first time in a long time that your family has all gathered together, then make a commitment to continue these gatherings. Family is one of the most important things that humans have made, treasure it as such.

What great ideas. Even in the summer my family has a hard time getting together to sit and talk this is fantastic.
Glad that you liked the idea. Thanks for the comment.
Blessings!
