How to Celebrate Three Kings’ Day (El Día de los Tres Reyes Magos) It’s a great way to really explain to kids the 12 days of Christmas and keep the spirit of the Holidays going well into the New Year. In some household these gifts are just candy or something small, in others the larger and more popular gifts are reserved for this day (and with good reason – parents can purchase gifts in the lucrative after-Christmas sales!) So maybe you want to add this celebration to your traditions. Children receive presents on the 25th, but for those who celebrate it there are gifts reserved for Three Kings Day. Good kids were rewarded with presents and candy, while bad kids ended up with dirt. The night before, kids would gather grass, hay or straw in shoe-boxes for the Magi’s camels or horses. Traditionally, this was the date of gift exchange rather then Christmas Day. But in Spanish culture, Three Kings Day, or the Epiphany, is one of the most important holidays on the calendar. Most know the story of the Three Kings following a bright star in the western sky carrying gifts to the newborn king. Three Kings Day, or Dia de los Reyes Magos! I’m Puerto Rican/Spaniard by nationality and in my house, as in many other Spanish and Latin American households, Christmas culminates 12 days after in the most important of holidays. Decorations are already coming down and trees once bright with lights and ornaments sit sadly on curbsides for garbage pick up.īut for many of us, December 25 th is just the beginning. I keep hearing from people how Christmas if over.
