Why Mila Kunis + Ashton Kutcher do a ‘no presents’ Christmas

They’re certainly in a position where they could buy every item on their kids’ Christmas lists, but Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher aren’t planning on piling up the presents under the Christmas tree this year. “So far, our tradition is no presents for the kids,” Kunis said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight . Mom to 4-year-old daughter, Wyatt, and 2-year-old son Dmitri, Kunis says she and Kutcher are determined to not raise entitled kids—and are learning from the mistakes of Christmases past. “We’ve told our parents, ‘We’re begging you: If you have to give her something, pick one gift,'” Kunis said. “’Otherwise, we’d like to take a charitable donation, to the Children’s Hospital or a pet… Whatever you want.’ That’s our new tradition.” The minimalist Christmas that Kunis and Kutcher embrace makes sense on a lot of levels: It teaches kids how to be more mindful consumers, removes the emphasis on material goods… And saves you from those chaotic trips to the mall.
