Well, I enjoy eating. A little too much if you want the truth. So I'm certainly not going to turn down a holiday that's centered around a feast!
Have you thought about maybe bringing up this issue with your family? Say in March,when nothing else is going on - just tell 'em it bugs you and makes it very hard to enjoy being with them over the holidays if they constantly pick on you.
Journalists don't make much money generally and when I first became one back in the days of steam-powered television, I got TONS of crap from my family at every gathering. I finally told 'em what was up, explained that I was happy and not ruining my life just because I wasn't a billionaire yet, and let it be known that my attendance at family gatherings would be drastically cut back if they didn't knock it off. Worked like a charm.
