What can I do to get in the Christmas mood?

I’m post viral and recovering from surgery (although I’m fine from that but can’t do too much).
H is being a nob. Reason unknown but sulking about something. DCs are older and doing their own thing.
Tree not up yet. I physically can’t get it in and move the furniture around so it’s waiting for someone (H) to do it. Presents all done and wrapped.
I’m not feeling festive. I’m tired and a bit pissed off that people (H) just expect me to carry on as normal and look surprised when I crash and need a nap. I’m not good at asking others to do things. Actually the only thing I can’t do myself is hoover but I’m still having to ask someone else to do it otherwise it wouldn’t be done at all.
So, apart from just booking myself onto a sunny holiday for the next fortnight what can I do to perk myself up a bit? I need to stop whinging and being annoyed with everyone.

Light Christmas smelling candles. Duvet on sofa. Mince pies and cream, and Christmas film on. That’ll do to start

I could do eat a mince pie now

I don't feel very Christmasdy either.
I think the warm weather doesn't help
I have decided to just go with it. It's one day and a roast lunch that's all in the end.
Its not compulsory to feel christmassy.

But you could make a list of things that need doing... And dish jobs out to dh and dc.
Might help if tree up etc.
Mulled wine... For you obviously ☺
Christmas film?

I’m really crap at delegating the jobs. I like to do things my way and other people don’t do things right and then I have to bite my tongue and not nag or criticise. Which makes me tense.
I think I need flowers. And holly and stuff.
