Again, pray.
Bathe your visit in prayer (before you actually are together). Be gentle in your words & interactions; don't "bludgeon" them with "religion." Trust the Lord to provide opportunity for you to "speak a word in season."

Tough one there. If your family respects your beliefs you should respect theirs. The holidays are a tough time for you but your faith will have to see you through. They've obviously dealt with their own questions of faith and are comfortable not doing whatever it is you want to do. So be it. Love and consideration will have to rule the day. Be happy to be with them, if God wants them, God will move them in some way. You wont have to do it for him, he's got all this power and infinate love for them, no? He speaks to others why not your family? If he doesn't, don't sweat it!
Peace
