Write lists and cross things off as you go. It gives a sense of accomplishment and reduces stress.
Have a budget for the gifts you are going to buy and don't go over for anyone. Have 2 options as gifts in case finding one is difficult.
Don't over cater and ask others to pitch in.
Dedicate only 1 day a week to Christmas planning and stick to it. That way you give yourself relaxation time.
Say no to some events and reschedule them in January.
