dad's know how to bring the fun -- but, juggling events, gifts & holiday chaos -- not so fun.

This Guide Helps dads conquer Christmas.

  • Tackle the 4 big parts of Christmas — Decor, Activities, Food & Gifts — without the chaos.

  • Use ideas that focus on memories, not money. (Because kids remember how it felt, not what it cost.)

  • Swap stress for structure with an interactive plan that helps you stop worrying and start celebrating.

  • Skip the last-minute scramble. You’ll know what to do, when to do it, and what to buy.

  • Keep everyone included. Plans and ideas that consider everyone’s interests — no one gets left out.

  • Feel proud and prepared, not like an afterthought. You’ll have a plan that actually feels good.

You’ve got the dad jokes, the energy, the holiday spirit —

now you just need a plan.

the story behind the divorced dad's guide to christmas

The Divorced Dad’s Guide to Christmas was created by me — a grateful mom and ex-wife.

At Christmas time, my husband was always the one hauling in the tree, stringing the outdoor lights, making the Costco run, and picking up guests from the airport.

But like in many families, it was usually the mom who handled the details — the cozy touches that made the house feel festive, the planning of meals, activities, and gifts — all while keeping the schedule humming and the holiday music playing.

After our divorce, it was “Dad’s year” for the holidays. My kids mentioned, “It just doesn’t feel Christmasy at Dad’s.” I immediately knew it was because of the "little things" (the non-practical things) and not for lack of their dad trying. That’s when I realized a quick, easy-to-use guide could help divorced dads create something uniquely festive for their home — without the stress or guesswork.

This guide was made with a grateful heart and deep respect for dads everywhere who want to make the holidays special in their own way.
