I'm sorry Christmas is turning into a source of conflict, and I can understand why you don't want your H to sleep at the house this year.

Did you mention your boundary about your H not sleeping at the house to your kids and your H before you sent them off to discuss how they wanted to handle Christmas? I don't have a single family member who would take well to being told to make a decision and then having that decision overruled because of a criterion that wasn't communicated initially.
