Ideas to make Christmas with a toddler less completely shit?

Feeling quite despairing so trying to cheer myself up by finding some nice ideas - please help! I have a 2.5 year old, am 32 weeks pregnant and tbh DH and I are already really struggling to keep him entertained and to feel like life is anything other than drudgery. I was so looking forward to having some days at Christmas where he got to play with beloved family members and I got to sit down in comfort, drink tea and have a chat with an adult. That's now not happening - any ideas for how we can make it not just feel like another day of the same old drudgery? He won't tolerate sitting around and watching Christmassy films etc (and I also think that is very boring). Please don't suggest walks - I have SPD.

Do shifts with your husband... 2 hours on/ 2 hours off

Only way to stay sane

Also check out 5 minute mum for ideas

I am in the same boat (also have a whinging 5 year old who is worse than the toddler). Dreading it.
