I'd just bring his crate right into the room where the family is, give him some toys/chews/treats in it and allow him to be part of the celebration in the room, safe from big feet, kids and the accidents little dogs can have underfoot in a group of people and take him out for frequent lap visits with a few people at a time and then back in the crate. At least he'll be in the midst of the fun.
