Now look at your list again and see what someone else can do. If you've traditionally done a big dinner, turn it into a potluck. Who can come over to help you decorate or set the table? Who can help you clean up? You might be surprised at how much people are willing to do to help you.
If no one's willing to help, then what? If it's a family dinner or gathering, perhaps their unwillingness to help shows that it's not a priority for them, which means it doesn't need to be a priority for you.
Keep in mind that making some holiday tasks a group affair can make it a lot of fun! Get family or friends involved in decorating while you serve hot chocolate, and while everyone's over, have some strong, healthy person shovel the walk for you and hang your outside lights.
