W has stated several times that she wants us to be together at Christmas evening but I don’t want that.
Last Christmas my W wanted to do the gift exchange together and I didn't. Here's the bottom line- what do you think is best for your kids? For me I didn't really have to think long about it, clearly the kids would be happiest if we all got together and did the gift exchange and then had our traditional lunch. So that's what we did, and it went great.
