My ex is very hard nosed when it comes to his visitation. His weekend visitation fell on the weekend before xmas this year. In addition to that he also gets the kids the entire week after xmas. This extra week that the court has allowed takes up my weekend, so will that mean his next weekend is really mine? If I think so and keep them and he calls the police will they get involved?

Police can get involved by presence only, sometimes arguments over children can get heated and instead of a civil matter it becomes a criminal matter. Most of the time however, child custody is a civil matter and even though you may have documentation stating that it is your turn to have the children, police have no way of knowing if your documentation is the most current. If a Police Officer were to act on documentation stating that you should have custody, giving the child to you, then you fled the country and did not have up to date documentation, the Officer would become liable. If a Judge advises an Officer to take custody of the children and return them to you then that can be done. The matter is more of a civil issue where you would revert to the Court system.

If called they will get involved. If he has a court order showing it is his weekend to have the kids, the kids go with him, it's that simple. Only the judge can change it.

Probably not, but you would not be doing yourself any favors violating a court order, Christmas or no Christmas!
You had them on Christmas and he didn't! Don't make matters worse as all you hurt are the children!

some will,some won't. legally they should. withholding visitation is violation of a court order. if they won't enforce one court order they shouldn't enforce any others(restraining orders for example).
be thankful he is involved.

when called they will get involved but can't do anything other than to advise both party's on what they need to do.

yes, if called upon, but that doesn't they can do anything, unless they feel eminent danger is involved.
