Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt don't like to spend Christmas in one place.

The Hollywood couple raise six children together, Maddox, 11, Pax, nine, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and four-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, and when it comes to the festive holidays, they like to travel around the world instead of buying them expensive gifts.

She said: 'I love to travel in the holidays, because I feel like I'd rather give the kids the gift of a new country than a box of presents. But I still give them some presents!'

The family are known for their globe-trotting adventures but Angelina says she and Brad have a pact that only one of them will be away from the children at one time so they fit their work schedules around that.

She added: 'I have a great partner in Brad and before we had all of our children, we agreed that in order to have a big family, we would never work at the same time.

'When he is shooting a film, I am not filming and I'm home and I'm just focusing on the kids and on occasion I take trips and I do my UN work. Then when I'm working, he does the same, so I don't do all of these things all of the time.'
