  1. uncountable Time spent enjoyably with family, friends, or one's partner. All of this leaves a gap for families to spend quality time together in a relaxed atmosphere – and that is where the Twixmas breaks have come in.
  2. uncountable Time spent by working parents with their children, especially time given over to productive or creative attention. Here, Dracula frets about growing old without a romantic partner (his wife died years ago), while Mavis worries that her working relationship with her dad running their hotel is cutting down on quality time.
