Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie spend Christmas in New Orleans

The kids will get toy helicopters in their stockings

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are celebrating Christmas at their home in New Orleans this year.

'The Jolie-Pitts will be in one big assembly, says Brad, who's expecting a big family gathering at their home in the French Quarter of the city.

Brad celebrated turning 44 on 18 December by going cycling with the kids and he and Angie love their Louisiana base, which they bought last spring, because they don't get hassled there.

'We have some semblance of real family life,' he explains. 'People have been very, very gracious with us. If we're on the front deck, people go by and say, "Hi". Then they go on their way, very friendly.'

In their Christmas stockings this morning, Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 1, can expect to find toy helicopters - Brad's favourite plaything when he was a kid.

'I like helicopters,' Brad told a TV show on Monday. '[I'm] going to try to push them on the kids.'

Brad adores Christmas and wants his children to have really happy memories of the festive season. He really enjoys getting wrapped up in their excitement.

Can't wait to see the snaps.
