Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt say that they won't be using Christmas as an excuse to spoil their children.

The super-rich couple plan on teaching their children that it's the thought that counts by making gifts for one other.

Brad told Hello!, "We do exchange gifts, although we don’t feel any great pressure to make them big or expensive gifts.

"And the kids don’t ask for the big gifts for the reason that 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.

"When they do see that stuff is when they start asking for the toys, so we figure if they don’t see them they won’t know they’re there.

"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.

"Then, when they give to each other, it’s really sweet. The gift-giving is a very nice time for us.

"It's chaos at times but there's so much joy in our house right now."
