Holiday custody is already a nightmare

It's October and my ex is already demanding to switch Christmas. We have it in writing that I get Christmas morning but she wants the actual Christmas Day this year because her family is coming in. We can trade Thanksgiving but not Christmas - that was the whole agreement.
She's acting like I'm being unreasonable. I'm thinking about just holding firm because if I give in now, next year it'll be something else. But the kids are asking why mommy and daddy celebrate on different days and frankly I'm exhausted.

Stand firm on this. Christmas morning was the whole point of that agreement. She can't just decide to change it because her family is visiting - that's literally what alternating years is for.
Have you offered to do Christmas Eve instead? We do that with my ex and it actually works better - kids still get the morning magic with both parents on different days. But if she won't compromise on the original deal, that's on her.
