@adr My daughters and husband have taught me that simplifying traditions so we can enjoy our time together on holidays is OK.
The Christmas tree is a 3 foot one my grandsons can put up with me, they arrange the rest of the decorations.
Christmas Eve is an eclectic collection of favorite dishes, we read stories, then gifts - material ones are small, adventures and experiences preferred, and finally silly games.

I think sometimes we can get caught in the hub bub of it all, but I think its great that you focus on what really matters. Family, friends, and community. In other words humanity, simple pleasure that bring such great joy. Silly games are a must.
