Brad Pitt will celebrate his 56th birthday with kids, right before Christmas

Brad Pitt, one of Hollywood's hottest A-listers, has been busy planning visits with his children after he and wife Angelina Jolie split.  

After both of his recent films this year took off with a storm, the star will be ending this year with a quiet spin by scheduling time with his children. 

Entertainment Tonight reports that Pitt is all set to celebrate his birthday this year with three of his kids, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.

Three of Pitt's kids will be at his celebrations, however there has been no specific reason given as to the disappearance of the rest of his kin, Maddox, Pax and Zahara.

Last year's Christmas was spent under supervision for Pitt , but this year it seems he gets to spend alone time with his bundles of joy.

Pitt and Jolie seem to have kept a low profile ever since their split became public and have only been seen out and about a handful of times.
