No, I do not feel comfortable around all of them. I generally try to find something that’s acceptable. My family generally has more money than I do, and have everything they want, plus half my in-laws shun us because we are a same-sex couple. No small children are left to delight, just social obligation.

If I had to do that it would INCREASE my stress, not bring about warm feelings. It would be like giving a report and getting evaluated on it. Maybe your family is not like mine...
