I don't think it matters in the grand scheme of things, as long as they have close friends and learn how to be a part of a community. Your extended family does not have to be related by blood, and you can't control the kinds of relationships people will have with one another whether you are nearby or not. You should worry about maintaining your own relationships with your siblings, despite the distance, if that is important to you and encourage your dcs to likewise nurture the relationships that are important to them.

Actually lots of people who aren't close to their families (geographically or otherwise) spend holidays with friends instead. But if you feel close enough to your parents and siblings that you choose to travel for holidays to be with them and maintain the traditions of your own childhood, then that's enough to make it special for your dcs even if the cousins they visit aren't their day to day bffs.
