Christmas Eve in Spain is about one thing. Eating. New Years Eve in Spain is about 3 things, Eating, drinking & celebrating! January 5th in Spain is about the gifts.Today is Dia de Reyes or as known in my home in America, 3 Kings Day. Years ago Spanish children would leave their shoes by their beds at night and the 3 Kings would bring gifts while they slept. Maybe the kids still leave shoes as part of the custom. Baltasar, Gaspar & Melchor have had a very busy day and night with the parades and gift deliveries all over the Country. I just spoke to my friend Fernando and he confirmed that they were almost done in Spain and were soon heading west to the United States. I had better be a good hostess and leave out a bottle of red wine and some Spanish tortilla for a snack. Something tells me that The 3 Kings eat a lot better than Santa Claus does!

Hi there. "Dia de Reyes" is big among us as well. We're in Canada now, but we still celebrate the Three Kings Day like when we were in Argentina, as you can see here.
