It seems that for the first time during her divorce, maybe for the first time ever Madonna’s life, she is able to compromise and reach an amicable agreement with someone. Given that the agreement has been made with her ex-husband, that’s nothing short of a Christmas miracle!
Despite previous reports in the Daily Mail that the couple don’t speak at all, which is said to be causing problems as they have a flexible custody agreement, it seems that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are going to spend Christmas together.
The plan is for them to be together on Christmas Day at Ashcombe House. Madonna arrives in England on December 23 and is planning to stay for Christmas.’
Ritchie, who is working on his new movie Sherlock Holmes, spends most of the week in his new London home. ‘Guy is happiest with his kids and in the countryside,’ a friend said last night.
‘Because of what the kids have been through this year he wants to treat them to a really special Christmas with stockings of presents and a big tree.
‘He is planning on having a traditional turkey dinner – although all the food will be organic at Madonna’s insistence.
‘Madonna doesn’t really like Ashcombe but she thinks it’s important that they put on a united front for the kids. She will, however, be eating a different meal as she will only eat fish. She will also be working out on Christmas Day.’
Last year Madonna permitted the family to eat only steamed fish and vegetables which she is allowed as part of her macrobiotic diet.
She also usually prohibits the children from watching TV, although an exception is made at Christmas and games after dinner are encouraged.
The source added: ‘Guy can’t wait,. He’s so looking forward to having some quality time with his son and he will spoil him rotten. Not with expensive gifts but little treats like letting Rocco watch some TV and eat a few sweets.’
I think Madonna gave in to common sense in the end – she won’t be spending Christmas with her estranged family, particularly following the book her brother published about her, and London is a beautiful city during the holidays.
It seems doubtful that the family will eat together. Madonna and Guy may reside in the same house, but you assume they’ll share the day with their children and avoid each other. Fortunately large country estates have more room for doing that than the standard suburban home. Although some divorced parents do spend family occasions together, I don’t think Madonna and Guy are on those kinds of terms yet.

I dont see what the big deal is. Why should Madonna even be there? She is officially a Jew now that she studies Kabbalalalalah.
“She will, however, be eating a different meal as she will only eat fish. She will also be working out on Christmas Day”
That statement sound so made up to further tarnish her image which she needs no help with. I doubt anyone in her inner circle actually said that.
They will have a marvelous time at Ashcombe. That part of the UK is just stunning this time of the year.
Why should she be there? Because she’s still the mother of those children. Christmas is now so commercialized and so about “stuff” instead of Christ’s birth that it pretty much doesn’t matter who celebrates it.
I’m not defending her, but she’s obviously capable of being amicable. She seems to have that with Carlos Leon, or maybe she grew into that. And as for her dietary restrictions, it’s fine if that’s what she wants to do – not everyone wants to pig out at Christmas (silly people) she just shouldn’t restrict her kids enjoyment of a fabulous meal.
Madonna, turning the other chicken cutlet.
well thats good they could do that for the kids.
but poor guy, be probably thought he was in the clear now.
😆 Aleach
