Huddy, can you take advantage of the ridiculous length of the Christmas season to create some traditions wih your kids that aren't tied to Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?

You can either take the modern, commercial approach (and celebrate earlier in December) or take the traditional, religious approach and celebrate all the way until Epiphany (Jan 6). One of my friends has her annual holiday party on Epiphany.

Can you adjust the days you take off so that you use them when your kids are wih you?
