The bond between a mother and her children is incredibly strong – how else will the kids learn how to forget to put knickers on and have distressing roadside breakdowns in front of the world's media?

That's why it's so important that Britney Spears gets to see her two children. And that's what she's done – after seeing the kids for the first time in two months on Saturday, Britney Spears got to spend time with the children again yesterday.

That's wonderful news – not only will time with her children speed Britney Spears' recovery, but everyone knows that there's no happier time than when two innocent children get to spend quality time with their mentally unwell mother, her father, a court-appointed monitor, a psychologist, a lawyer and one of their father's bodyguards. It'll make quite the Christmas card come December.

Although we've had our differences in the past, we're honestly thrilled to see that Jamie Spears' ongoing conservatorship has forced Britney Spears into slowly getting well enough to become the old Britney Spears, the Britney who puked on boys, exposed her ladyparts at every opportunity and smeared dogshit on designer dresses while absent-mindedly pawing at her crotch but fell short of full-blown mental illness.

And a big part of that recovery involves Britney Spears getting to see her kids. Ever since Britney lost custody of her kids in October – and especially since she lost all visitations rights in January when she was carted off to the brain hospital – Britney Spears lost her one remaining responsibility. Unless you count weeping uncontrollably as a responsibility, which frankly we don't. 

And although Britney Spears tried replacing her children with a variety of substitutes, like creepy married British photographers and a terrified-looking puppy, it was obviously only going to take a visit from her children to bring Britney Spears back down to Earth. And, as we reported yesterday, that happened this weekend when Britney got to see her kids for the first time in seven weeks.

The visit must have gone well, because yesterday Britney Spears got to see her kids again. E! Online reports:

After not seeing her boys for almost two months, Britney Spears has scored her second face-to-face visit in the past three days. The embattled pop star received another in-home visit from one-year-old Jayden James and two-year-old Sean Preston on Monday, E! News has confirmed. The kids were again shuttled to Spears' home in Kevin Federline's gray Dodge Viper truck, driven by Federline's longtime security guard, at around 9 a.m. They departed shortly after noon.

Unless Britney Spears does something awful, like chew through her leash and make a lunge at Sean Preston, it seems to us that these visits will become a regular occurrence. And that's bound to be helpful for Britney Spears' progress – surrounded by family and out the way of the media, all the ingredients to make sure that Britney gets well safely and quickly are in place.

And this situation has to suit Sean Preston and Jayden James, too – after all, the more time they spend around their mother, the more of the Spears trademark charm is going to rub off on them. And, seriously, who wouldn't want that?

As Christmas is the time of goodwill to all men, it's only right that Kevin Federline and Britney Spears should put their custody differences behind them and choose to equally split the amount of time they neglect their kids on Christmas day.

In a rare gesture of kindness to his long-suffering ex-wife, Kevin Federline has allowed Britney Spears to spend Christmas morning with her two young children Sean Preston and Jayden James. This news will be a real shot in the arm for Britney Spears' morale, because now she gets to continue some of the festive traditions that the kids have already got used to – like the one where Santa comes down the chimney with his vagina hanging out, barfs up in the kitchen, shoves a handful of Cheetos into his face, absent-mindedly stubs out a cigarette on some tinsel and saunters off without leaving any presents.

Plus it means that the court-appointed custody monitor gets to see Britney Spears on Christmas day instead of her own family. Yay!

One person's idea of a perfect Christmas can vary dramatically from another's – while one family might enjoy falling asleep in front to the TV together, another might enjoy playing relentless parlour games until midnight. And for Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline, we suspect that Christmas isn't Christmas unless a bewildered woman who smells of ashtrays babbles at them in a made-up language, farts a lot and then bursts into tears for no obvious reason.

And, as much as Kevin Federline loves his two kids, we get the feeling that he's barely smart enough to talk lucidly in English, let alone any made-up languages. Which is why Kevin Federline and Britney Spears are putting their endless custody squabble behind them to share the kids on Christmas day, as a judge ruled yesterday. After a closed-door court hearing in Los Angeles yesterday, Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini said:

"There was extensive discussion and agreement on the visitation over the holiday period. It's different from the existing [custody] schedule."

It's heartwarming that even a couple of argumentative rednecks like Britney Spears and Kevin Federline can enjoy Christmas day for the family-centred day that it is, and no doubt that Britney Spears will grasp the extra kiddie-time with both hands and given them the Christmas they deserve. Word has it that Britney Spears will spend her morning with her sons playing festive games like Find Mommy's Tylenol and Ten Reasons Why The Court-Appointed Monitor Is A Witch while letting them have a slap-up Christmas meal. That's right – the boys can have absolutely anything they like from the Taco Bell menu.

However, it's not hard to see how all this might misfire on Kevin Federline. After all, Britney Spears earns in a month what Kevin Federline earns in a year, so even an idiot can see that Britney will spend Christmas morning lavishing all sorts of expensive gifts on the boys, only for them to be utterly heartbroken when Kevin Federline gives them two unsold copies of Playing With Fire each – the same gift they also got for their birthdays, Easter and last Christmas, as well as being their evening meal on up to four different occasions in the last few months.
