Kristin, Most divorced couples I know 'split the day' with one taking the kids in the morning and the other in the evening. This seems to work out well. In fact, one little girl I know actually likes the idea of having Christmas twice.
But I may have to agree with your aunt on this one. Alternating holidays may be the way to go, and as you've proven with your trip to Tucson, it gives you the opportunity to buck tradition a bit and create your own family traditions.
And although you may miss the excitement of Christmas morning, I bet you'll forge new traditions here as well. Any ideas on how you'll spend your time. Sometimes, my favorite way of spending the holidays is ... very quietly.
