The no. 1 wish on many people's gift list is - less stress. By which they often mean less pressure, less rush, less expectations - even less gifts (given & received). Next time you find yourself in a long line-up pushing a cart loaded with canapes or doodads, thinking, why am I doing this? well, that might be a sign to really ask: Why are you doing this? Because you always have? Because you feel you should? Or because you really want to? Dial it back, keep it simple, keep (or create) the rituals that are meaningful to you. (And don't stress about not being able to de-stress! Just stop for a minute, have a nice latte, make at least a small pocket of peace.)
