Divorce & Christmas

Christmas is almost here. I know many families who are dealing with their first Christmas without the traditional family gathering. There are often disagreements as to where the children are going to go and how the holiday will be divided. As a general rule I ask my clients to put their children first and think about what they want. Remember that its important to start new traditions with your children so they can help adjust to how life and the holidays are going to look when the divorce is final. If anyone has any suggestions on how to help children with their first "divorce" Christmas, I encourage you to post those suggestions here for all other readers.
