I can’t imagine what meds Kate will have to take to mutter through sharing a Christmas with OctoBoy. There isn’t enough Xanax available for such a forcefully contrived event. And his sudden concern that the kids feel that “nothing has changed” screams, “My idiot lawyer told me to say that”, especially since the backlash of his big announcement of spending Thanksgiving with his Hailey and her family.

This whole Christmas setup is merely another weak attempt to mend his shattered image. Kate probably feels that she has no choice but to allow him to shares Christmas Day with her and the children, lest he start throwing more mantrums vilifying her to the press.

It must be excruciatingly embarrassing to have once been in love with Jon enough, not only to have married him, but to have had eight children by him. It’s not enough to say he’s changed, because at least a large kernel of who he is now must’ve always been present. Kate did no favor all those years she was apparently protecting Jon from himself.

With Hailey supposedly dissing him, you have to wonder if Jon could actually be contemplating crawling back to Kate. The boy does love to keep his storyline zipping along.
