My daughter, my step daughter, my sisters son, my other sisters step daughter are all on the same basic holiday custody arrangements with each of their other parents. This year we will all have those kids on Christmas Eve and not Christmas day. I would like to have a Christmas Eve lunch thing at my house this year so that they will be able to open presents in front of the person who bought it for them instead of what happened year before last when they all had to open their presents way later and pretty much alone. Since we have such a big family with many more kids I want to still have the traditional Christmas day thing. (everyone else shouldn't have to change their lives because of our custody arrangments).
My question is this; I would like to send out invitations to the Christmas Eve lunch and I want it worded nicely. I don't want to say 'hey, bring my kids presents over early'
Any Suggestions??

Say, "Merry Christmas" You are invited to share the Spirit of Christmas with our family on December 24th, Christmas Eve. This will be the kids' Christmas with the family since my daughter, my step daughter, my sisters son, my other sisters step daughter can not be with us on Christmas Day. Come have a holiday lunch and share in the festivities."

Say basically what you just told us. That due to visitation schedules, You would like to invite everyone over for a Christmas lunch so the kids will get to spend a part of the holiday together before they depart to other "parties".

you could not have it the two techniques. you could not have an order of protection on somebody and then furnish them visitation at your each whim. Then it sounds like there somewhat wasn't any violence and which you probably did this in order that which you've the better hand and administration the situation. So - do you pick him to uphold the criminal supervised visitation which you and the courts agreed on? or do you pick to enable it slide and set the occasion that the regulation ability not something? Your determination...

Why not add in the invite something like "gift exchange following lunch"?
