As a child of the 60's and 70's you hugged. Well, unless you wanted to be shouted at, a lot, anyway. Every vague relation and friend of the family, anyone, in fact, who your parents deemed you had to. Because the thought of someone even thinking about being able to refuse one, hadn't even staggered over the horizon back then. It was just how you were expected to behave. I wouldn't say that I learnt to endure it, that actually took a long time. But, I still hate it as much now, as I did back then.
