Single parents (where the other parent is involved), how do you decide where your kiddo/s spend the holidays?
Spinning of Amommy’s ? 
I don’t consider myself a ‘single’ mom, because I live with my daughters dad and we share all parent duties. However, he spends the holidays with his family, and I spend them with mine.
Since my girls are a bit older, they choose who they want to spend the day with, of course they choose their dad over me. Except this Easter, he works, so they’re all mine
For birthdays, we have 1 party and both families are free to come.
What about you guys?

We always traded off, Thanksgiving one place, Rosh Hashanah at the other. Switch the next year. I also think it’s nice when the break is long enough to have some time at both places. Then you can schedule two Thanksgivings without being really far apart. That depends on how easy the access is though.
I think it’s great you guys generally work it out. My grown brother now has to juggle between his dad, wife’s family, and his mom… all in the same town. He probably puts on ten pounds on the actual holiday and has to pluck gray hairs.
Mothers day with mom…Fathers day with dad…Birthdays just the way you are doing it. Other major holidays should be rotated…for example this year my kids will spend Easter and Thanksgiving with dad and Christmas with me, next year Easter and Thanksgiving with me and Christmas with dad, etc…whatever rotation works best for you and keep it fair, try not to switch schedules if at all possible (in a custody situation Dad would have to make arrangements ahead of time for work or surrender his Easter) and it will become a simple routine… I find that no matter what age, kids seem to feel most at ease with a schedule; this way they know what to expect. It is difficult to spend a holiday without our kids, just try to focus on the next one that is yours! Best of luck to you
