The holidays can be stressfully busy, check out these bits of advice on how you can make things work between you as a home based business owner and your family during this Yuletide season:

Stick to Your Working Schedule!
If you can afford to limit your working hours during the holidays then go ahead and do so. But make sure you still set a working schedule for you. The best time to work during the holidays would be early morning. That way, you can have the rest of the afternoon and evening to spend as much as you can on common holiday tasks. Your loved ones are sure to have more available time themselves during those hours. But this of course depends on what your body got accustomed to when it comes to your working schedule.

Coordinate Business Trips and Holiday Excursions.
If there's a Christmas bazaar in the area you're delivering goods, why not ask your family to accompany you and you can all shop together on your way back? The holidays usually require us to make hundreds of little shopping trips and you can certainly include them in your itinerary without hurting your business. But remember to prioritize your business over holiday obligations during these trips. Gifts are always received gratefully even when they come late, but you can't expect the same reception for delayed delivery of goods!
