“I don’t get them presents – which I think at their age they don’t like.”

Drew Barrymore has revealed why she decided not to give her two children presents for Christmas.

The actor and talk show host told Entertainment Tonight that he has a different holiday tradition with his two daughters, Olive, 10, and Frankie, eight.

“I always take them on a trip every Christmas,” she said. “I don’t get them presents – which I think at their age they don’t like.”

“But I say, ‘I think we’ll remember the place and the pictures and the experience, and that’s what I want to give you.’

Drew added that she does provide her little ones with “a lot of things throughout the year,” but she prefers to give them a “memories to last a lifetime” instead of gifts during the holiday season.

“Everything evens out and it’s good,” she insisted. “But I really like traveling for Christmas.”

The Never Been Kissed actor shares Olive and Frankie with ex-husband Will Kopelman. The two divorced in 2016 after four years of marriage.

Drew is often open about his parenting experiences.

During a conversation last year on singer Demi Lovato’s podcast, she recalled telling her girls that she would always consider herself their parent, not their “friend,” a perspective she adopted because of her tumultuous past with her own you are a mother

“Not that there has to be such a strict relationship,” she clarified. “You can be friendly and do activities.”

But children still need “that North Star of how to behave,” she argues.

In September, Drew also wrote a sweet tribute to Olive on her 10th birthday.

“I’ve never known the kind of love I have for you and your sister Frankie,” she said in an Instagram post. “The greatest I will ever know. Takes first place in my heart. You are my priorities.”
