Happy Three Kings Day to all Hispanics!!

#1 Postby cycloneye » Sat Jan 06, 2007 8:04 am

On the 6th of January the latin countries and the hispanics that live in the U.S mainland celebrate Three Kings Day (The Epifhany),when gifts are given to the children.In my case here in Puerto Rico,we give gifts two times,on Christmas (To adults and Children) ( and on Three Kings Day to Children).This festivitie marks the end of the Christmas 12 days and all the decorations, Christmas trees and lights go away.Mines will be taken off on sunday.

Feliz Dia De Reyes:

little christmas is when we used to take down lights and bring out the winter or spring stuff, but that fell apart.

Some people do celebrate Christmas today. It also is 12 days after December 25th, that's where the 12 days of Christmas came from. Anyways, Merry Little Christmas to all. 8-)

Not just Hispanics. Three Kings Day is also celebrated in the Philippines and marks the end of the Christmas celebration there which begins on December 16th. I will have my lights on tonight and will take all my decorations down tomorrow.
