]]> One of the hardest adjustments to being a single parent is coordinating your schedule with the proper authorities – Santa, the Easter Bunny, etc.

Last night was the night that St. Nick was supposed to come. My kids are at their Dad’s house right now, so I had to plan accordingly.

Our visit with Santa, 2006

I have great news for single parents who have not yet encountered this dilemma. Thanks to technology, and the unfortunately high rate of divorce, every holiday character I have dealt with has been very flexible and accepting of our situation.

Each time my kids aren’t going to be with me on the traditional eve of ‘s visit, I contact the entity ahead of time via telephone or email. Just last week, I contacted St. Nick (via email) and explained our situation. He was perfectly willing to make his stop at my house the night before his regularly scheduled visit. Santa and the Easter Bunny have also both been very accommodating.
