The tradition worth continuing should leave someone glad to prepare it again.

Traditions are often measured by whether they happened, not by what they cost the person who made them happen. Behind every repeated occasion is usually somebody shopping, cooking, arranging and clearing up, and the gathering carries their fatigue whether or not anyone mentions it. A custom that steadily drains one person is being kept alive by them rather than by the family.

Ask whoever does the preparing what part of it they would happily drop. Rearranging or sharing the work is not a betrayal of the tradition; it is what keeps it something people look forward to.
