[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did every other year alternating Thanksgiving and Christmas, making each holiday both the day itself and the days around it so that each parent could travel that year.  It was nice not to have to negotiate each year and know that we could have a leisurely holiday with family on the years we had custody.  I think this was better than dragging a kid back and forth for every holiday and made things more normal for both families.

This. Do not make your kids switch on Christmas Day for crying out loud.

Normal in my circles is on odd years one parent gets Christmas (from the time school is out until Dec 28) then the other parent gets Thanksgiving and NYE (from 28th to when kids go back to school.) Then even years it switches.[/quote]

This is what we do. (It’s not always the 28th depending how days of the week fall, but it’s generally around then). We still do presents under the tree and all on my off yard-it’s just a few days late. I feel like shuffling back and forth on Christmas would just be miserable for everyone. [/quote]
