Talk about spreading some serious cheer -- Brangelina's lucky kids are getting an early start to their holiday shopping! Well, at least a third of them, anyway...

On Friday Angelina Jolie took Shiloh and Zahara shopping at Lee's in New York City, and everyone seemed stoked to be stocking up on art supplies -- even Angie! We're guessing the girls picked up some goodies for Maddox, Pax, Knox and Vivienne too...

And seeing as the 39-year-old Oscar winner recently revealed that she's retiring from acting, it looks like she'll have plenty of time to do arts and crafts with her six kids. Angelina took a break from filming By The Sea to chat with DuJour magazine, and she said, "I've never been comfortable as an actor; I've never loved being in front of the camera. I didn't ever think I could direct, but I hope I'm able to have a career at it because I'm much happier."

It certainly shows! Though we must say, we finally saw Maleficent, and Angie kinda blew us away, so we hope she doesn't TOTALLY give up acting...
