You can cut Holly back as far as you want and it will recover. The stuff is almost impossible to kill.

You can top the pine, but it'll always look like a tree someone has butchered. Over the long hall, you'll do better by taking down the pine and planting something that will grow to the size you desire.

You're just looking for cheap Christmas trimmings!
