Even if you’re no longer together, doesn’t mean you can’t spend the festive season with your ex, right?
For most people this would be the last thing they’d want to do. But it’s exactly what Kate Hudson did.
The Almost Famous actress took to the ‘gram to share a snap with her former love bird, Muse front man, Matt Bellamy.
The photo was captioned ‘From our #ModernFamily to your #WhateverKindaFamilyIsYourKindaFamily we send you much love and blessings on this Christmas Eve ❤️???? #ExMas #HolidayFun #SantasComing’.

And yet my partner and I, both with divorced parents, spent Christmas Day trying travelling all over the countryside trying to appease four sets of parents, each of whom demand that we see them on Christmas Day, and for a considerable length of time, preferably at lunch. And we daren't spend any of that time watching the clock because then we're not really 'there', are we?
Much respect to Kate & Matt.
It's ridiculous that they expect that of you! Can't you do a rotational thing - mothers one year, fathers the next or similar? Or extend celebrations from Christmas Eve? Christmas is such a chore anyway, why make it worse for yourselves?!
Next year, tell them Christmas is at your house and let them know you've invited all of them. I reckon you'll have a lovely quiet Christmas with no travelling at all. Best take the phone off the hook too...
We did attempt to extend the whole Christmas day thing across several days this year but failed miserably, which resulted in a handful of people not speaking to us on the actual day (but still expecting us to show up).
Don't get me wrong, our parents aren't bad people and we love them dearly, but something just goes crazy in their brains around this time of the year.
Boundaries! Teach your parents boundaries. You guys are parents and adults too. It's not their place to try and rule your life!
