I accepted an invitation for Christmas Eve, thinking it would be a group gathering. It turns out that it will just be my host, "Bill," Bill's niece, her S.O. and me. The niece is pregnant and not married to her S.O. She is being supported by Bill who complains about the situation often. I feel very uncomfortable being the outsider in what may be a tense family situation. I would never have said I'd come had I known. How do I deal with this in a gracious manner?
