If you'll take an old fool's advice, don't work yourself down to the last nerve trying to have everything just perfect at Christmastime. I use to go to extremes and then be so exhausted & cranky that it wasn't worth it to my family. I've had to learn that everything doesn't have to get done(that I used to think had to be done). What mattered most to my family was seeing me merry and all of us enjoying each other.
Get plenty of rest.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
