Madonna & Guy Get In The Holiday Spirit

Although Madonna and soon-to-be ex Guy Ritchie are still wrangling over custody issues regarding their children (the divorce itself was agreed to last month), they have agreed to halt the feud for the holidays.  They will spend the holidays together in England with their children at their $15 million Ashcombe House in Wiltshire, England.

An insider tells British newspaper The Mail On Sunday, 'Madonna and Guy want the best for the kids and so she has decided to come over to the U.K. so they can be with their father. Madonna arrives in England on December 23 and is planning to stay for Christmas.

'Madonna doesn't really like Ashcombe but she thinks it's important that they put on a united front for the kids.' "

They have three children: Madonna's daughter, Lourdes (12), from a previous relationship, and their two sons: Rocco (8) and David (3).  Since the split was announced, the children have travelled with Madonna while she performs on her Sweet & Sticky world tour.

The source adds, 'Guy hasn't seen the kids for weeks and he is desperate to be with them over the holidays. They have been traveling a lot and he just wants them home.' "

Good for them!  A divorce is such an emotional time, it's good that Madonna and Guy can put their personal feelings aside for their children's sake for the holidays.

UPDATE: Madonna's rep is now saying it is unlikely Madonna and Guy will actually spend the holiday together, although Madonna will be in London.  At least the kids get to see both parents on Christmas.
