First Christmas as a separated family with teenage children and I have them 100%.
What are some fun and cool traditions to start doing with them to make this more special with them and reduce triggers (I need to change from my old traditions- it’s too triggering for them)

May I ask what were some of the old traditions that are triggering so I know what not to suggest :)
I took all of mine individually to the shops and we picked out presents for their siblings. Kind of special to think of each other.
I am a child of divorce. My siblings that are divorced still do important days with their exes. Their kids are so much more balanced than I was.
If you can't do that, your kids are older. Rather than starting new Christmas traditions, how about you plan a fay they will enjoy. None of us know what they love better than you.
If I had to do this, I'd let my kids teach me to play games they like. They would LOVE that. I wouldn't love the game, but I'd love how happy it made them
