Just decline the peer review invitation.

What are you people even doing?

Me as an author: can’t wait to get this manuscript off my desk and into peer review so I can relax over the holidays!

Me as a journal editor: who submits a paper right before the holidays? Obviously we won’t be able to find any peer reviewers for weeks!

This is your yearly reminder -- submitting your paper just before the holidays is not a good idea. You're competing with a flood of other papers and even if it's sent for review, no one will agree.
