Well, if you feel that way, my best suggestion would be to not invite them over in the first place..... leave it to another family member to be the host. If nobody wants to do it every year, try going on a "rotating schedule" so someone different hosts each year.
It doesn't have to cause angst and strife when family comes.... that just tends to be the way it is when some people need more help to cope with family.

It's not your problem. Plan a sensible meal, then call and tell each one the menu, ask if they can eat some of it and (this is the important bit) if they can't, then could they bring along something else for themselves that you will plate and serve to only them.
That way, the family can get together for fellowship and fun and you don't have to prepare umpteen different things.
My son had various food allergies as a child and I have lactose intolerance. I learned to call ahead to ask about the menu and then brought along a suitable meal for my son or myself if the planned foods would not agree with us. No hostess every objected.
