Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie plan to exchange home-made gifts with their children for this Christmas.

Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are certainly able to buy big or expensive Christmas gifts, but they choose to exchange home-made gifts among family members. Pitt tells Hello! magazine about his Christmas holiday plans.

About the holiday gifts, Pitt says, "We do exchange gifts, although we don't feel any pressure to make them big or expensive gifts." He feels excited that his kids don't ask for expensive toys because they don't see much American cartoon television, which he believes is filled with manipulative ads for big toys appear so attractive in the ads.

It's understandable when Pitt decides not to buy high-priced presents. About it, the star of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" says, "So we have gifts, but we try to keep the money spent to a minimum. The rule is that everyone's got to make something for someone else, you got to put time into it."

Beside talking about gifts, Pitt also insists that he doesn't differentiate all his multicultural children because "they are all brothers and sisters" and "they are all the same blood". About his parenting job, he reveals, "It is such elation to see them all living together, and getting along together, and to know that we were able to give them a home - in some cases, to give them a life."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have six children, the eldest Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt who is adopted from Cambodia, Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt who is adopted from Vietnam, and Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt who is adopted from Ethiopia. Their three other children, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt and Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt, are their biological children.
