I use hugging as a way of avoiding them kissing me on the cheeks - when I see it coming I just give them the avoidance hug. Still awkward, but better than the other ritual. And there are some elderly members of my family who give people kisses on the lips instead of cheeks. This just makes me want to run away, wth.
