You know of Three Kings Day, right? I do, but I don't actually celebrate it. I wish that more people did celebrate it, though. It makes more sense. Three Kings Day is about when the Three Kings gave Jesus gifts. In countries that celebrate Three Kings Day, Christmas is actually more like a Holy Day, while Three Kings day is the day where Santa breaks into your house and eats your cookies.

Well, Happy Three Kings Day!

My German teacher mentioned this today in the lesson. It is the only thing I have remembered from that occasion.

:o Whoo. I like the three kings >.> They have a cool x-mas song. OH, but I was watching the history channel about them and supposedly they're buried somewhere in a cathedral, interesting how they found them in the first place. o.O

It's actually a bigger holiday (at least present-giving holiday) than Christmas in Mexico. When I lived there we never got presents on Christmas, but instead got them on the day of Los Tres Reyes Magos. Presents are also left outside your bedroom door instead of under a Christmas tree.

Hey, this day rules :D

Especially in Spain, we got invited to a huge gathering by the neighbouring families (live out in the country) as usual, they have a cool cake and everything, and like a 8 hour meal xD

I wonder why here in America, we don't celebrate Three Kings Day. X-Mas Break would be longer. :choc2:

Isn't today called Epiphany?

We were in math class when someone said something about christmas. I told him 'hey christmas is over' and was feeling like a total scrooge, and topping it off, I remembered today was the last day of christmas:]

As for why America doesn't widely celebrate Three Kings Day... Umm... No clue. :kaodrop:
