Yep. I get this. But, I tend to take an approach where if I have free time to do it, I will. However, a lot of the service job costs are expensive in Finland. Guessing that is the same in lots of places though.

We will have a Christmas cleaner come a couple days before for a few hours. This is a big help, because we will be hosting about 20 people here, and there is a lot to do that is more valuable than the time spent cleaning.
