successful break?

What makes a successful Christmas break?
At the beginning of the week, I was already stressing out that I wasn't going to be able to get everything done that I wanted to do over the break. That I would feel so terrible when it ended because I hadn't accomplished anything. My list is always so long, I never do complete it.
Dave said to me, "What will make this feel like a successful break to you?"
I know I should have said something like, "Being able to spend time with my family", but I just couldn't. Instead I said, "Getting everything done on my list."
See. Now you know what a terrible person I am. I care more about lists than people. I think Kimee has even pointed this out before in a moment of frustration.
So today was a very productive day. I didn't shower or get dressed. I stayed in my pajamas and worked the whole day. I got a lot done. So I was thinking about making a list of everything I have done over the break so that I could show myself how productive I have been and could feel like it was a success.

Things I Can Feel Good about Accomplishing Over the Christmas Break:

• Wrote the family Christmas letter
• Got Maddi's teeth cleaned, Audrey's fillings in, Kimee's new glasses
• Surprised the kids with a big, used, backyard playset (thanks to KSL ad, Dad, and Grandpa!)
• Hosted 5 different get-togethers/meals with family or friends
• Took my kids to Chuck E. Cheese and a movie (Happy Feet 2) 
• Actually watched 2 movies at home (Kung Fu Panda 2 and Unknown)
• Sang in the Ward Choir on Christmas Day
• Didn't work or do any projects on Christmas Day (only because it was Sunday:)
• Went to 3 wedding receptions
• Went out to lunch with Dave and out to dinner with the family for my birthday
• Took down and put away the Christmas tree and indoor & outdoor decorations
• Took our dog in twice to the pet clinic
• painted 3 rooms, 2 halls, 2 bathrooms
• hung over 20 pictures on the walls (Finally, it looks more like home!)
• started our 2011 tax return (Cannot wait for the refund!)
• Scheduled and completed: attic insulation, gas insert from fireplace removed, chimney and fireplace repair, water softener install, duct cleaning, furnace humidifier install
• Got to enjoy a beautiful warm fire in our family room, and the kids roasted marshmallows
• Completed guest laundry downstairs
• Got rid of stuff on KSL
• Organized/cleaned out coat closet
• Unpacked the rest of the boxes in craft/laundry room

Just a little disclaimer- I didn't do all of these things on my own- Dave helped with A LOT! He had all but three days the same time off as me. He was a super duper trooper!
Unfortunately, I didn't get everything on my list done. I won't list them all, but one was getting my family blog updated. Sorry everyone! I am so behind that I feel it is going to take me a huge chunk of time, which is one reason why I haven't tackled this task. Maybe I can work on it a little bit at a time now that my room is painted. . .
