"Both the kids have mentioned several times now that they would prefer to spend more time living at the house.
S12 has said he would prefer to live here for a week then 2 days with you, then a week with me.
D6 has said she would like the same.
I've read loads of advice saying that holidays can be more flexible as there's no school.
I'm happy to talk to you about Christmas so that they can have the benefit of equal time with both parents.

Im pretty angry.

"I don't agree to any change to the parenting schedule until I've spoken to my solicitor and we have begun mediation.
We had a 50/50 agreement in place and I expect that agreement to continue for the time being.
I'm aware that it is unlikely that mediation will begin before Christmas and I'm open and flexible to discussing an equal solution for Christmas.
I'd also like the opportunity to speak to kids asap.

I'm spiralling, why is she doing this, I've been spending the weekend thinking about how I could find a solution for Xmas that didn't hurt her.
I just don't know how to navigate this.
