What is the meaning of "ので" and "会う" here?


> 正月に大ぜいの客が来るので, 会うのが面倒だと思う人もある  
>  Some people do not want to have to take care of the large number of
> visitors who shows up during the New Year

Why is "ので" used here? I would translate it like "because of people who shows
up during the New Year", but my translation doesn't connect with "会う" and with
the second part of the sentence




`面倒` means also "trouble, bother", so I think a more literal translation would
be "Since [ので] a lot of people come during New Year, there are people who
think it's a bother [面倒] to meet [会う]"; maybe the translator used "Do no want
to take care" for `会うのが面倒` (which I think means, literally, "It's a bother to
meet [them]") and rephrased it to remove "Since/ので".
