Divorce can be one of life’s most difficult transitions. If you’re a parent and are recently separated or divorced, here are 3 tips for sharing the kids with your spouse during the holidays.
1. Have your lawyer draft up a custody and parenting time agreement.
These agreements typically include holidays, school breaks, and vacations. Or, you might have an informal agreement with the other parent. Either way, it’s generally best to avoid leaving holiday plans up to the kids. It’s not uncommon for kids to feel guilty about leaving one parent alone. And kids generally benefit from an established routine, particularly during the holidays.
2. Keep holiday traditions in place.
If one side of the family traditionally hosts Christmas day, it’s generally a good idea to continue that tradition to maintain consistency and routine for the kids.
3. Consider new holiday traditions.
Encouraging your kids to put their talents and interests to work for a good cause can help ease the transition for them – and you.
If your child enjoys cooking or baking, you might consider making meals to donate to a local soup kitchen or senior center. Or baking cookies and wrapping them up to deliver to neighbors. The key is to use your imagination to create festive new traditions that can be shared with your children for years to come.
When it comes to divorce and navigating the holidays with kids, consistency, and stability is important, as is remaining open and flexible.

My name is Mia Albert, and I base in the USA...My life is back!!! After 1 year of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids. I felt like my life was about to end I almost committed suicide, I was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr.Benjamin, which I met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet, I came across a lot of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb, cure cancer, and other sicknesses, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce, and so on. I also came across one particular testimony, it was about a woman called Helen, she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony, she dropped Dr.Benjamin, e-mail address. After reading all these, I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48hours, my husband came back to me. We solved our issues, and we are even happier than before Dr.Benjamin, is really a gifted man and I will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man... If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve all your problems for you. Dr.Benjamin, anytime, he is the answer to your problems. You can contact him:
