Holidays and being a child of divorce

...See more Hey, everyone! I could really use some advice my parents just got divorced this summer, and this is going to be my first Christmas navigating the whole two-houses thing. It's a bit weird, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm feeling a bit lost. I've got this 50-50 custody thing going on, and whoever's closer picks me up from school. It's like a weird tag team between my mom and dad. But here's the thing—I've always been more of a "let's play soccer and forget about everything else" kind of person. Now, it feels like I've got to balance this whole Christmas cheer thing between two different houses. I mean, I get it; people have been doing this forever, but it's new to me. Any advice on how to make the most of it without feeling like I'm constantly bouncing between two worlds? How do you handle the holiday split between divorced parents? I've always been a fan of keeping things simple and fun, but I'm open to ideas. Oh, and if anyone's been through this, how did you deal with that first Christmas after the split? Did you feel weird about it? Because, honestly, I'm kind of dreading the whole "opening presents in two different places" thing. Thanks a bunch in advance! 🎄✨
