I've gotten better over the years as saying no to things I know will make me feel worse such as too many gatherings. I've been lucky enough the last 5 years to work somewhere where we take time off, typically between Christmas and New Years so I have time to incorporate more self-care and just have some time to decompress.  
 
I make sure I do the few things about the holidays that I do enjoy, like watching specific Christmas movies and baking.
