I know, it's one day before Christmas Eve and 2 days from Christmas Day, and maybe you've had it all planned out in your head for months, so you're reading this and laughing at the question with a rhetorical response hovering on your lips. But on the other hand - maybe you have been running around like a crazy person all week trying to get all your last-minute shopping done. I'm raising my hand on being THAT person, because for all my preparations I've set out to do ahead of time, somehow it all kept changing day-to-day to where I had to keep re-prioritizing how I was to accomplish everything and still come out sane.
The good news is, THERE IS STILL TIME! Time to clean, cook, shop, or even relax - but it's all about setting goals so you don't let things get lost in the shuffle. Plus, you'll be able to feel good about yourself for crossing off those tasks from your list. It's a win-win situation! But even in the event that you're stuck working up until having to be with your family and friends, or if you have to celebrate on a different day entirely, know that the best plans are those which leave you with some wiggle room.
