Speaking of the real estate...

Mrs JJJ,
That sounds like a terribly tense situation.

In my humble opinion...put up the Christmas decorations as the season draws near. Yes, it would be hard emotionally to take them down, but it will mean something to the kids to have them there.

If you have to take them down, do it...and then put them up again wherever you move.

I guess the fact that they are Christmas decorations can also mean that you have hope and prayers, you know?

Try to keep things as normal as you can for the kids.
