Season's greetings!

Jon Gosselin says he and estranged wife Kate will spend Christmas together with their eight kids.

"Christmas Eve and Christmas day are joint-shared custody days, which means we're both in the house," he tells AOL's PopEater.com. "So we'll be there."

Jon, 32, says he doesn't expect any showdowns, adding that he and Kate, 34, plan to stick to tradition.

The kids "do the stockings early Christmas morning," he says. "Kate makes sticky buns. We keep it all the same. Nothing has changed. That way they have the sense of security with everything that's going on."

He adds, "This year, there's a lot of paparazzi, so who knows? Every year it's different."

With his hectic schedule, the reality star says hasn't started buying presents yet.

"It will probably be all Internet-based this year, pre-wrapped," he adds. "You know, I'm a guy, when there's free gift wrap, I'm like, 'Yeah, yes please.'"

    Kate is the one who started the show and made the show something that every household family could relate to. She is the epitomy of what an excellent mom should be like. Jon, on the other hand, is boring, obnoxious and selfish. So much is blamed on Kate being "too hard on Jon". She needed to be hard on Jon because he was always laid back and doing his own thing. Kate took on all the reponsibility and care of the children. She had to hold his hand through every step of whatever or wherever they were doing. I think the children are so precious and deserve better than Jon as a father. They are blessed to have Kate as their mother inasmuch as she is the glue that holds the family together. I feel sorry, especially for Cara and Mady who are old enough to know what is going on with their dad's awful behavior. They have to live with the trauma of his lack of responsibility to his family's needs, and the demise of the marriage.

    i would like to say good-bye for ever to boring Gosselins, Cake something, poor table for 12, little couple...

    He adds, "This year, there's a lot of paparazzi,I am so glad I will get my picture every where I am so famous, so who knows? Every year it's different and I may get a really big show." With my hectic schedule with my w-h-o-r-e-s, the reality star says hasn't started buying presents yet they are so many women to buy for.I just love to spend my money on my couchies. "It will probably be all Internet-based this year, pre-wrapped," he adds. "You know, I'm a guy, when I can get my little winkey wrapped by free gift wrap for my couchies like supprises, I'm like it too , 'Yeah, yes please play with my little gift to you ladies and I will give you a little more supprise.'" It may rise a little more if you give it a big pull.

    Kate should be very careful with this moron. He is up to something. He will be stealing more of the kids money while she is not looking and be spent it on more of his loose women.

    Why is it that when Jon is out with his girlfriend people say he's not a good dad,then when he has his visitation or when he's there for special occasions people say it's a publicity stunt? I do not believe for a minute that it's a stunt.And regardless,the kids would benefit the most because they have both parents there for their milestones and celebrations,and isn't that what matters? Just because Jon is divorcing Kate and he's not getting along with her,that doesn't mean he doesn't love and care for his kids.There are divorced parents who do all the special family events together,including vacations.I don't think Jon and Kate will take it that far,but the holidays is family time.The kids are used to having both parents with them on holidays,and it would be unnatural and upsetting to them to all of a sudden have only one parent there.Personally,I don't mind them talking about how they're calling a truce for the twins' birthday and how they're going to celebrate,or how they're going to spend Christmas together as a family and make it special for the kids,as long as they follow through on those promises.Besides,I like hearing about how they are trying to keep things positive when they are with the kids,instead of constantly hearing about the ugly court battles and the rest of the drama all the time.Anyway,what parent doesn't brag about special things they do for their kids' birthdays,holidays, graduations,etc.Parents take pride in being able to do these things and see their kids happy,and when they're going through as difficult a situation as the Gosselins are,that makes it even more important.I think Jon and Kate are talking about their plans because they want to show that they're mature enough that on special occasions they can put their personal feelings aside in order to give their children some level of stability and sanity in the midst of these trying circumstances.

    What hectic schedule??? Bunch of lies...

  • November 12, 2009 - 11:40pm Elyse

    I am sure we will get an update on Christmas day on what's going on in the house, just like he did at the twins birthday. Isn't that what all good father's do sell the details of their daughters birthday to the highest bidder. It looks like Jon is going to be taking a Christmas break to walk to the fence and hold another holiday news conference. That's a great memory for the kids to have!!!!

  • November 12, 2009 - 6:32pm Apryl

    Have a good holiday , together . Hope all the best for them . Life is a journey and we all sometimes make messes .However it's what you do with them that makes all the difference .

  • November 12, 2009 - 5:16pm mmc

    Lets just wish the best for this family.None of us are perfect so lets not pretend to be .I hope they can co parent for the sake of the kids. Who knows, maybe they both learned from mistakes. Kate treat Jon with respect. He is a good Father. I know raising 8 little kids is a daunting task but you can't expect everything to be done to your standards all the time.My Husband was sloppy and I was a neat freak, finally we learned to compromise.Love and luck to all of you!

    Children are little emotion sponges; they pick up on way more than adults think they do. If Jon is truly concerned with what the children want, why don't he and Kate ask them how they want to spend Christmas? If the children want the parents together, great, go for it. If not, please don't force it on them - the tension between Jon & Kate will be enough to make them physically ill, to say nothing of the emotional toll.

  • November 12, 2009 - 11:21am Molly

    Pam - I agree with you. Kate will be civil long enough to get some good footage and then she'll push Jon out of the picture and the holiday with the kids. Remember - IT'S ALL ABOUT HER. That is her mindset.

  • November 12, 2009 - 10:03am marcia burris

    Maybe the sentiment of the hoildays will wake jon up and he realize's what a big mistake he has made by not being more supportive to kate with the 8 kids.

  • November 12, 2009 - 9:53am Ehh...

    Finally, god, I was wondering when they were going to get enough common sense to know in order to raise your children correctly you have to be in the same room long enough. If you have problems than you leave them until later, you don't drag your children into the mix on TELEVISION! And just an additional opinion, I don't think Jon and Kate are bad parents, I just think they let fame and fortune overshadow their judgement. Thankfully, Jon seems to be straightening up.

  • November 12, 2009 - 9:05am Jenna

    WOW!!! Here is a BONER for TLC to exploit the kids!!!! Show them on a Christmas Program!!!! WHO CARES IF THEY SPEND CHRISTMAS TOGETHER OR NOT!!!!

  • November 12, 2009 - 8:13am stella2010

  • November 12, 2009 - 7:58am stella2010

    JON/KATE spending Christmas together is a great idea b/c the children needs both of them esp: that time of the year..Which they need both of the parents together at all times but DIVORCES do happen.....

  • November 12, 2009 - 6:36am anon

    I wish Kate would let me juice all over her face and swallow my load.

  • November 12, 2009 - 3:38am Pam

    It's good for the kids that their parents are both going to be with them at Christmas, but knowing Kate, she will probably run Jon off in an hour or so. 2 reasons--she can't change and he's had enough of her.

  • November 12, 2009 - 2:13am the orderlyl who tells the truth about Kate Gosselin

    You can describe Kate Gosselin with one word -- demanding, hedonistic, hostile, exploitative, short attention span, irritable, and grandiose -- or you can describe her with many -- bipolar. Good at manipulating others' emotions for fun and profit but not so good at getting a five-year-old to do what she wants without hitting her.
