Trying LRT - Please Help!

I am so PO'd right now and in need of some advice.

Earlier today, my H and I were emailing back and forth regarding the daycare options for S6 during the school's winter break. I also mentioned that I wanted to firm up the arrangements for the kids for the Christmas holiday. To which he responded, "Regarding Christmas, I am open to what works for you. Right now, it looks like I would have them Christmas Eve and then I can bring them over on Christmas morning for you as soon as they get up. Let me know if that is what you want or we can change it up."

Somethings that you should know first are that H and I have what is sometimes called the 2/2/5 setup with the kids. I get them every Mon. and Tues., he gets them every Wed. and Thurs. and Fri.-Sun we alternate. I get them one Fri.-Sun. and he gets them the next. So at any given point in time there is a period where I won't see the kids for 5 days. In addition we agreed to alternate holidays with H getting Thanksgiving Day while I get the kids on Christmas Day.

So what's my beef you ask? Because Thanksgiving Day falls on Thursday he will get the kids on that Wednesday and Thurday and return them to me on Friday afternoon as it is my weekend with them. As Christmas also falls on a Thursday he technically gets the kids on that Wednesday and as he said will drop them off on Christmas morning. It just seems so unfair as I won't even see them on Turkey Day, but he is planning on them waking up at his house on Christmas morning. Ideally I would like the kids to spend Christmas Eve with their dad and come over to my house right be for bedtime. That way they can spend time with H and still be at my place on Christmas Day.

I have yet to respond to H's email. How do I tell him what I want in a DBing sort of way? Am I overreacting? At one point I was even considering inviting him over Christmas morning so he could see the kids. No way now. That just seems to be too much cake eating.

Please give me some advice on how I should approach this.
