Holiday Splits | How We Split Holidays: Co-Parenting Thanksgiving & Christmas

Holiday splits without the mess—Cedric & Devorah break down how to share Thanksgiving & Christmas like grown folks.

In this episode, we get practical about co-parenting the holidays: alternating years, splitting the day, or celebrating early so nobody feels robbed. We also talk long-distance years vs. living closer, how to handle the “I’m missing out” feeling, and a Confessional on kids bonding with a new partner.

Spoiler: Memories are better than the calendar date. Peace + clarity beat rigid rules every time.

What You’ll Get:
✅ Real custody options: alternate, split, or offset the day
✅ Long-distance vs. local logistics (and why flexibility wins)
✅ How to manage “missing out” without turning it into a fight
✅ Blended-family etiquette with new partners
✅ The Confessional: “It stings watching my kids love his new partner”
