The Three Kings

If you're not familiar with this tradition, let me sum it up for you. It's basically a Christian tradition rooted in the nativity story, which describes that three wise men followed the bright star for days to find the new born king. They were carrying gifts of myrrh, incense (or frankincense) and gold. So on January 6th, kids wake up to gifts from The Three Kings – some versions of the Bible say there were "kings" instead of "wise men". In Argentina, where I am from, kids usually leave a bowl of water and some hay (aka grass from the backyard) for the camels, since they must be very hungry and tired. Sort of like "cookies for Santa" but without the calories. This way Christmas gets extended for an extra 10 days, and it's the last chance to get that toy you wanted and didn't get!
