Aren't you Christian? You should know ; ;

Its the last day of the Christmas season, celebrating the three kings that followed the star of Bethelhem to give gifts to Jesus.
And yea its sort of like Christmas in terms of present giving, you also eat rosca de reyes, its like a sweet bread with some stuff on top, with figs and nuts inside.
 
We don't eat the rosca, whatever, I think that's Mexico...

Before the US came here, we only gave presents on this day, January the 6th, the day of the Epiphany, to commemorate when the Three Kings (or the Magi) gave their presents to the infant Jesus. We put grass under the tree (before, we didn't use trees, I think) so the camels can eat (same as the cookie for Santa) and we get presents.

Sadly, now that we have Christmas the American way (with Santa Claus), then we have the best presents on Christmas and the second-rate ones on Reyes, our parents saying that they have less money... Yeah, kings have less money than a fat bastard with a beard, riiight. ><

It's a wonderful tradition, and it means we get presents twice during the season, always a plus, lol.
 
LMAO, Feliz dia de Reyes!!!
