Let's face it: visiting relatives is NOT a vacation. And most of need a vacation at least once per year.
You can turn it around on them, though: Tell your relatives they are welcome to visit YOU, but you are not making any preparations. If the come, great; if no, oh well. That makes you sound just a wee bit less selfish.
Good luck and have a happy holiday!
