This may seem glib, but just accept that you have to attend these things. Lots of people hate family functions over the holidays but they'll never go away. It's a social obligation that you have to meet.

I used to hate them when I came home from Christmas during college. Now I find they go better if I stop resisting every little thing people want me to do and just play along for a few days.
