We have two young children together, with his exwife he has 3 adult children, I don't understand, how I am going to explain to my children when they get older why their father is not with them on Christmas ? ( he works on Easter and Thanksgiving)

From what I see, Christmas is probably the only time Dad gets to see all the kids at once, since they are adults.
Instead of swimming upstream on this one, consider having Christmas on Christmas Eve. Have your family dinner and open presents on Christmas Eve. Have Daddy wish everyone Merry Christmas on the next day and you guys play with the new stuff and have leftovers until he can get home again. The kids will pick up on your attitude towards the whole thing. If mama's happy, everybody's happy.
Let this be your gift to him. At least he bothers to see his kids. There's gotta be something to that that you can admire. Merry Christmas!

The older kids should tell their dad that he needs to be wilth the younger ones because they cannot understand why daddy is not there. Or all of you should be together at the ex wife's house . If not then daddy should arrange to be with younger in the am and the older ones in the p.m. Things should be able to be worked out unless your husband is just lazy and leaving it up to you.

Turn it around and invite them to your home for the Holidays, hold your head up high and watch what you say , as the saying goes you can catch more bees with honey than vinegar. After all the others are your children's step siblings. Show everyone how really strong and secure you are. Jeanne

Im sorry but To me it seems hes putting his oldr kids before the younger ones that really enjoy christmas. You need to talk to him about this tell him to invite his older kids to your house. If he is neglecting your kids now and you cant get through to him it will only get worse. Kids should always come first

no excuse. He should be there with your children. His other children are grown, they should understand. His younger kids with you deserve better treatment.
