I love the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree idea. If I lived closer I'd bring you one.
Maybe the "unpack one or two meaningful things" will feel less taxing on Saturday. Or I did like the "buy some cheap stuff and put it up" and would add that you could donate it to, say, a women's/children's shelter or nursing home after Christmas if you'd rather not move and store extra stuff. If "solution mode" is pissing you off, I beg forgiveness--I just got all excited by your friend shadowcaptain there!
I moved the last weekend in December about 10 years ago, just after Minneapolis Nationals. It snowed. It sleeted. The driveway and front porch of both places were covered in ice. It sucked. My dad, who basically would cut off his left arm to help me (or anyone, really) looked deep into my eyes and said, "We are NEVER doing this again." All other moves have been at more temperate times.

Yay for movers, though!
