What are some of the things that would absolutely ruin your holiday at this point? How about your kids?

Your first response might be that they'd be disappointed if they didn't receive a certain gift they really wanted, but beyond that, what would steal their joy and make them feel anxious and unsettled?

Don't worry--I'm not recommending that you aim for those things! But I am suggesting that you think about them, in order to be intentional about creating the atmosphere you want, and avoiding some of the things that can squash your kids' dreams for a great holiday.
