Holidays and Tradition

January 6th: “Los Tres Reyes Magos”

There is a tall tale that says that the three wise men go house to house and leave presents for each child at the house. Children will leave their shoes outside to let the wise men know how many children are in the house and a present will be by each shoe the next morning. What’s nice about this holiday is it also is a good way to end the holiday season, especially for children. The parents say that the three wise men are following stars to the houses and children will leave out grass and waters for the camels. Some neighborhoods have parades, or the 3 wise men will be walking around during the day, similar to how santa is around during Christmas.
