When family traditions become sources of conflict across generations

My adult children and I keep having the same argument about family gatherings - they say I'm too controlling about traditions and logistics, and I feel like I'm the only one who cares enough to make things happen. Every holiday is becoming a negotiation and I'm exhausted, but I also don't want our family to just drift apart.
