Though they are among the richest couples in the world, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie don’t plan to drop a bundle on their six kids this Christmas. “We have gifts, but we try to keep the money spent to a minimum,” said Pitt in an interview with Hello! magazine. “The rule is that everyone’s got to make something for someone else.”

The actor’s theory on why the brood doesn’t ask for big gifts? “They don’t see a lot of the American cartoon television, which is packed with all those manipulative commercials for big toys that look so fantastic. If they don’t see them they won’t know they’re there.” (More Brad Pitt stories.)
