Just declare what you plan to do at Christmas well in advance, give people an inconvenient opportunity to join you, and then enjoy your small Christmas.
For me that was just declaring every second Christmas I’m not leaving my house. So if family or friends want to see us they will know where we will be. Once you set expectations people grumble a bit but then decide what they want to do.

This is what we do. Every Christmas we have Christmas at our house. Family are welcome to join us, or not join us as they prefer. Some do, some don't, but we were super clear about our plans when we had kids.
