None.
I have a few first cousins that invite me but they are all siblings and we always feel awkward when the grandparents dole out Chanukah gelt. This year we respectfully declined.
We stay home an spend a nice relaing evening together.

Zero. No extended family around.
This used to depress me until I joined imamother and heard about all the family drama that can occur as a result of scheduling and attending these parties. Then I realized that Hashem had placed me in a situation with as little extended family as possible for a reason!

We had an improptu gathering/festive lunch with neighbors Sunday and next sunday we are going out to lunch with my parents - I guess that could count as 2 parties. There was a party in Shul, but after our festive lunch I didnt have the energy to go.

Most years, none or at most one. After getting married, I've never lived near family from either side, so I think I've been to one high school reunion, one seminary reunion and one party for the school I taught at in the 40 nights of Chanukah of my post-school-years life.
