We've only ever had to allow a special birthday or holiday visit when the child was almost being returned to their family and they were already having unsupervised visitations or day/weekend visits.
Otherwise, the parents would visit on their scheduled visitation day/time and bring presents and celebrate at that time with their children.
Since the social worker is leaving it up to you, and the mother has already missed all the other special holidays I'd just arrange a visitation sometime around christmas, leaving christmas day a time for you and your family to celebrate with the kids.
If the social worker turns around and says you have to allow the visit on christmas, then let her know that, that is fine but she can be the one to provide transportation for the kids on christmas day(this will likely change her mind).
