//**__ THREE KINGS DAY !__**// Celebrating the end of Christmas? I dont know about you guys, but i think it's sad when Christmas is over! In spain, they celebrate it! In Spain on January 5, Most Spanish people have a great party where everybody gives and recieves gifts. It is to to celebrate the arrival of the three wise men; Melchior Caspar and Balthaza. They gave gifts to baby jesus, so in this celebration they gave presents to the children! Sounds like Christmas doesnt it? Well it's a proven fact that Three Kings Day is more popular than Santa claus! Before going to sleep, children put some milk and biscuits next to the Christmas tree for the Three Kings and some water for their camels. They also leave out their best pair of shoes to be filled with presents. Spanish believe there are 12 days of christmas, Christmas starts on Christmas day, and ends on January 6. Thats why we have the song "12 days of christmas." On the next day, 6 January children wake up and see how many presents they have received. If they have been good, they will find a lot of good presents but if they have been naughty they will find coal.

__** Three Kings? Who are they? **__ You already know the history on them; Melchior Casper and Balthaza. What you didn't know is that most little kids believe in the Three Kings as we did in Santa Clause!
