On the one hand, if it was a stressful holiday then you had an ordinary holiday just like in real life. ;)
Here are a couple of tips that I use that might relieve your stress.
1. Start the whole shebang early. Don't wait for a night meal. Like going out to eat, it will take a lot of time.
2. When your guests arrive in the wrong clothes, PAUSE the game and, using a closet, change all their clothes. When you unpause, they should all change.
3. Cheat. I use testing cheats to UP everyone's needs so they don't eat or sleep or pee before I want them too.
4. Don't be afraid to turn off autonomy so they only do what you want. Get everything done and, once seated at the table as a group, then turn it back on and you'll get those cute moments.
It ain't perfect but it has worked fairly well. After all, it is like herding cats.
Herding cats is frankly easier! (I know, I have cats :D ) so turning off autonomy for a spell is definitely the way to go if you have goals!
