| 331.1 | My Holiday | 5950::MAYALL | | Tue Nov 08 1994 12:22 | 18 |
|
I have my daughter, every Christmas from 4PM until the following
day at 6PM. I always have my daughter the weekend before Christmas.
This is when my family has always gotten together. I don't get her
Christmas Eve or Christmas morning. The weekend before Christmas is
within the divorce decree. Based on all the crap that goes
on this has worked out well. I don't jerk my daughter out of the
house on Christmas eve for a short visit. She has always been prepared
and thrilled to see me Christmas afternoon. All in all it has worked
out well.
My ex wouldn't budge on the Christmas Holiday. We alternate the
Thanksgiving Holiday.
Good luck Tim.

| I alt with Thanksgiving and Christmas. And I always have her on New
Years. And that doesnt bother me cause, when she gets older, I can have
some fun with her making fun as I did when I was a teen. I dont like
going out on New Years as I use to do.

| 331.3 | Kids with me on Christmass eve | SALEM::PERRY_W | | Wed Nov 09 1994 04:20 | 7 |
| We agreed that the children are with me Christmass eve and stay
overnight and early on Christmass day I take them to her moms house
approx 1-1/2 hr drive away. we've stuck with that for seven years now
and seems to work. The children spend Thanksgiving with their mom and
I always get invited which is very considerate of her. If either of us
ever remarry things may change but now they seem to work pretty well.

| 331.4 | No set rules, what easiest for both of us. | CSCMA::SMITH | | Mon Nov 14 1994 11:47 | 11 |
| Since my big "family Christmas" is always the weekend before xmas, my
ex usually gets them on Christmas, and we celebrate with them just before
they go.
I usually get them every other Thanksgiving, but it's hard to keep
track, we just play it by hear. But now that he's moved out of state to
avoid child support, who knows? It seems he's forgot they're alive, out
of site, out of mind.

| 331.5 | Alternate each year | FOUNDR::SHEEHAN | | Mon Nov 14 1994 13:15 | 13 |

We alternate each year! On Even numbered years our 2 daughters are with
their Mom Christmas Eve through noon on Christmas Day and with me thru
the following day and vise versa on the Odd numbered years. Since we have
Joint Physical Custody and split the week/alternate weekends it sometimes
causes some schedule juggling especially when Christmas falls on a weekend
but so far there have been no complaints by our children. Of course they
think its great that Santa leaves gifts at both houses and can't wait to
see whats waiting for them at the other parents home.

| One thing that someone has written to me about off line is keeping a
calander of weekends whom gets what or whom.:)
They are important to keep. And follow. There is less heart burn, and
spending of stocking money for attornies also!:)
I cannot believe that some folks don't have one or keep one.

We were to alternate Christmases and Easter each year. Problem was
that, for example, Christmas 93 and Easter 94 would cause one parent
to have them basically for both events each year. It was rather
interesting when my ex tried to deny me the kids because _she_ thought
the court had made a mistake :^}.
Also she lived out of state and made short-term trade of weekend and
Christmas more difficult.

| 331.8 | Christmas on 12/24 | NCMAIL::HANSHAWL | | Thu Dec 01 1994 14:36 | 9 |
| We celebrate our Christmas the day before. Santa comes to
our house the night of the 23rd and the morning of the 24th
is our Christmas. This has worked out well for us as the
kids are with us all day long. This has been our tradition
for the past 9 years.
Good Luck.
