Happy
Three Kings Day, everyone. Finally, we are nearing the end of the holiday season in Puerto Rico.
Just a little trivia about the holiday. . .
Three Kings Day is traditionally the day when children get their gifts (not December 25). On the night of January 5, children go outside and collect grass clippings (or hay) and put these things in a little box under their beds--this is a snack for the camels (and, yes, this is a parallel to "cookies for Santa") that the "kings" ride.
(This picture cracks me up because, for no apparently good reason, the closest "king" is draped in a Puerto Rican flag. . . I have no idea why.)
