Does anyone really like these? Like the ones where you see people once a year and just talk about how work is or if you took a trip? I'm not from a family that does this so I don't exactly have my own opinion but it just seems pointless.

Eta: thank you for all the perspective, good to know there are some strong family ties out there! I have something similar with friends.

I've found it to be a more and more positive experience as I get older. Not due to increasing wisdom or anything, just changes in how I prioritize connection and my skill at socializing with people I don't actually know super well.
