DIA DE REYES
Dia de los Reyes Magos, day of the three majic kings.
Today is when the kids open the presents that the three kings bring them, that is the traditional time in Mexico that small children receive presents, some also get presents at Christmas, more in big cities than in small towns where during Christmas only a midnight church service and a very late dinner is normal.
Yesterday I got the last rosca de reyes "traditional bread" from the bakery we are having that today with chocolate, normally it is eaten the night before, we are doing it today to acomodate the poor souls that had to work yesterday.
The tradition is that the rosca has a small figurine "Jesus" and who gets it has to throw a party, today they are made of plastic, we still have the one from my great grandma and that is made of porcelain, needles to say that one is no longer used.
Since I did not behave, "I think!" I did not get anything, so would you guys tell us what you got from the three kings?
