The "traditional" way of handling holidays after divorce has been to alternate years, one year the kids are with Mom, the next with Dad, and so on. Recently I've noticed an interesting trend. Some divorcing couples with kids are choosing to continue spending certain holidays together. This provides the kids with an extra gift for the holiday, having both parents with them in a peaceful mode.
I don't know whether these arrangements will be maintained over the long haul, especially if either of the parents remarry, but it still feels like a positive shift, and I'm rooting for the success of all the couples brave enough to try to do this for their kids' sake.
