Reese Witherspoon not spoiling her kids with X’mas presents

Reese Witherspoon can afford it but she doesn’t splurge on gifts for her children 9-year old Ava and 5-year old Deacon even if it is Christmas. Reese admitted she is a little strict when it comes to giving presents to her kids as she always puts a limit to what they can get. Reason? She said kids appreciate what they have if they only have a few compared to having them succumb to the gluttony of things.

Reese just got divorced from her children’s father Ryan Philippe but they are sharing the kids for the holidays. She may presently promoting her new film “Four Christmases” where she stars with Vince Vaughn but said she will start getting into the Christmas by doing her Christmas shopping and even cooking which she enjoys. Among the favorite Christmas traditions for her family includes her children dressing up her little Oscar with some hat and scarf so he wouldn’t get cold.

She may have everything any actress can wish for but when asked what’s on her Christmas wish list, she said just a chicken coop and of course a man who will be there to build it for her. Reese and her children are definitely getting her wish as they are headed for the family farm where they are expected to feast on her cooking which consist of sugar-baked ham, sweet potatoes and turnip greens.
