Firstly, put your dog to good feeding and adequate exercise on a regular basis from now. This will reduce his stress level. A tired dog is a content dog. If your dog is on routine exercise and effective nutrition, fact remains that he will stay calm as long as he doesn't have any other behavioral problem.
Secondly, call you friends together every weekend so that your dog gets adopted with the kind of mob he will be facing on Christmas day.
Thirdly, keep your dog enclosed in a room for few minutes number of times in a day. This is a practice that will make him seasoned withy staying alone enclosed even when the mob is gathering righ outside. Gradually increase the timing of his being closed inside. Remember a frustrated dog will mess when kept inside. So giving solid exercise and good food is of utmost necessity
Fourthly, take him out multiple times a day for pee. Doing this from now will give you an indication as to when exactly to release him out for the pee.
Fifthly, don't give him Christmas chocolates and resins that are often used in Christmas cakes. Both resins and chocolates are potentially harmful for your dog. Discourage your friends who may want to share human foods with your dogs. Rich and fatty gravies, buttery sauces and cakes can be potentially dangerous for your dog. Alcoholic beverages can be reallt dangerous. If you have wine chocolates for the Christmas eve, keep those out of reach.
Sixthly, if you are buying a Christmas toy for your dog, consider your breed. Small toy for a large German Shepherd may get accidentally ingested and can cause chocking. Who wants to make a Christmas ever memorable for an incident like this
Eighthly, make sure you secure your Christmas garbage into the trash bucket with tight lids. Your dog has a tendency to sniff the holiday garbage and try to chew
Ninthly, display all candles on higher altitude on shelves
Finally, keep your dogs away from all decorative plants, like Poinsettia, Mistletoe etc. things may end up with shreiking pain and huge loss if your dog accidentally ingest such holiday decorative plants.
