How could you make Christmas this crap?!?

Ex wanted DC Christmas Eve/Day, they were split on whether they wanted to go but also never want to make him sad and I wanted them to all be together rather then split between me and him, so I encouraged them, although I wasn’t exactly thrilled I thought they would have a nice time.
He provided them all with gaming stations and had them up until gone 1 Christmas Eve playing Fortnite (youngest is 7). No Christmas Tree, stockings/presents.
I had a text from eldest midday Christmas Day asking if I could pick them up at 2, I was expecting to get them later. Picked them up - they’d had nothing to eat!
WTF!
Of all the shitty shitty things he has done, I dislike him the most for this. How could you be this crap?!

We didn’t discuss stockings because he has done stockings for them once before, not how I would do them but a stocking is a stocking and he is more than capable and they would have been pleased, very unlikely we would have ‘doubled up’ on things. I don’t think he would have appreciated me contacting him about it - would have seemed like I didn’t trust him to do it, which would have actually been accurate!

I'm so sorry, I really feel for you. My ex has done some shitty things around Christmas but nothing in this league.

Get on Canva and make them a personalised letter each explaining that his silly elves got mixed up and sent their presents to granny/auntie/friend/neighbour and that they will find their stockings there.

Then ask your mum/friend/brother whatever if you can leave it under their tree. I'd do them a whole Christmas Day alongside the stockings and invite whichever friend you can rope in.

Then never let him have them for Christmas again. Prick.
