So really, it's of no importance at all... 
FYI, it is bigger in Spain than Xmas, and most adults exchange their presents on Los Reyes (to be precise Los Reyes Magos). Apple and Amazon have bigger promotions for this day than for Xmas.
I am sorry to be offtopic again, but I could not believe what I read and I really had to correct it, as Reyes really is a huge Holiday in the spanish speaking world. And a magical one too, with fantastic processions. I encourage y'all to visit a country of the Hispanidad on that day, it's amazing and extremely joyful. |
Wow. I am really amazed I hadn't heard of it or more precisely that my neighbors don't celebrate it as most of them are from Mexico.
Thanks for the information.
