You make it amicable by talking about the plans before hand. Whether you will be splitting the day, or if it will be one person day one year another the next year, or if someone will get the next day or the day before. Discuss pick up times and drop off times and everything in between, including what presents both are getting to not repeat and no letting LO bring gifts back and forth initially. If you have a plan before hand it can help to not be upset at any surprises since you have already talked about it. and you can know when you have time without any and do something with friends/family or yourself you may not be able to do so easily with your child.
