If you need to blow off a little steam after interacting with your families all day, I might have just the thing you need. And if your relatives did something to bug you, consider sharing and maybe I'll add it to the story:
I have a weird holiday tradition of reading about macabre things around Christmas, history in particular. This year, I stumbled across a book by Jang Jisheng on the Chinese famine of 1958-1962. It's not macabre for its own sake. There's a lot of lessons about humanity in here as well, along with some gratitude that we at least haven't lived through this yet.
