An "Uncle" is a male relative who is the brother of one’s parent or the husband of one’s aunt. Uncles can play various roles in a family, often providing support, guidance, and companionship to their nieces and nephews. They may also participate in family gatherings and celebrations, contributing to the family dynamic. In many cultures, uncles are seen as important figures in a child's life, sometimes acting as mentors or role models. The relationship between an uncle and a child can vary widely, influenced by factors such as distance, personality, and family traditions, including those related to family gatherings and holidays.
