I am curious. What do other foster families plan to do with the birth parents/birth family for the Christmas holiday?

In the past, we have met in a public place for a visit and to exchange gifts. We brought our foster children and our birth children. The birth parents and close family members also came. We did this a few days before Christmas. This year we are considering Christmas Eve or Christmas day, out of respect to the birth parents. How common is this? What does your family do? Is the visit supervised or unsupervised?
