Not only do Reese Witherspoon's two children Ava Elizabeth, 9, and Deacon Reese, 5, still believe in Santa Claus, they "believe in all sorts of things" -- for all sorts of other holidays! In an interview with Movies Online, the 32-year-old actress says that the kids have gradually turned almost every special occasion into an occasion for gift-giving -- and receiving! "We have all sorts of fairies for different holidays...like we have a Halloween fairy and then there's the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny," she explains. "I'm like, 'How did this happen that I have to get more things?'"

Reese adds that when it comes to Christmas, she has no intention of spoiling the fun with the truth about Santa Claus. "Kids find out that kind of stuff on their own," she says.

Ava and Deacon are Reese's children with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.
