Angelina Jolie with son Maddox Jolie-PittAs the oldest child in the Jolie-Pitt household, certain responsibilities fall to Maddox Jolie-Pitt but he has reportedly stepped up to the plate.

A source close to the family told OK magazine that Maddox has taken it on himself to write a letter to Santa Claus on behalf of his younger siblings as well as himself, to ensure they all get what they would like this Christmas.

The source claims Maddox has asked for an Elf DVD and some remote-controlled cars for younger brother Pax, because “Pax loves cars”, while sister Zahara wants princess dresses and a crying doll but “Maddox doesn’t know why Z would want her toy to cry”.

The baby of the family, Shiloh, will get a doll and some books while Maddox himself would like a remote-controlled dinosaur: “He asked Grandma Jane [Pitt] for one, but he isn’t sure she’s going to buy it.”

The family are planning on spending the holiday period in their $3.5million home in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Mum Angelina Jolie and Maddox were in the city earlier in the week to support dad Brad Pitt’s launch of the ‘Make It Right’ foundation to help continue redevelopment of the area following 2005’s Hurricane Katrina.

Angelina told Us Weekly that she had to return to Los Angeles for a few weeks to continue work on The Changeling but “we’ll be back here for Christmastime.”
