what to do? i have two very good friends.?

Question

i'm in the middle of moving. i can't offer much to many during the holidays
i have two very good friends that are kind and intelligent. they are hinting that they would like to come over for at the most to my brother's house as we did last xmas. we had grilled shrimp and a couple of drinks. just fun. now, they just remember the good time. 
always talking about how nice it was and how they like him.
well, very subtle hints how they want to do this again. so, i bring this up to my brother. he refuses as they only spoke politics. absolutely not. he will not even associate with them. 
unbelievable to me. if i could i would do it even in my helter/skelter moving mess. what can i do?
 i think this will be noticeable and odd however i maneuver this situation. i feel like telling them how he feels, but me i will not insult anyone.
any suggestions will be appreciated. maybe, why i post this in science/math. chances are more insightful answers.
any suggestions.

Oh gosh, the only way you're going to get your brother to associate with your friends or let you host this get together at his house is through incentive.  Seeing how this would be a chore for your brother, offering something rather large and worthy in return should change his mind.  After all, would you go to work if you weren't getting paid?  It's up to you to figure out what incentive you're going to offer; however, offering something similar to what you're asking of your brother is a good start and would be something I would suggest.

Ask your brother to do it as a favor to you.  A big favor.  A BIG favor.  You've done a good job communicating your feelings to complete strangers in a few words.  Surely you can do that with your brother.
