The Three Magi Day
6
1

For centuries, children have observed the Three Magi Day very much the same way like their grandparents did in the past. Every January 6 just before dawn, children wake up early in the morning looking for toys and gifts brought to them by the Magi. Emotions run high for all kids who have surely caught very little sleep and eavesdrop every bit of whisper, noise or sound, assuming it's the clanking of the camels reins and garners, just like in the story about the coming of the Three Magi.The next morning, the whole country is brimming with joyful and happy children brandishing their brand-new toys. This day cannot be any happier. Late at night, a family dinner among relatives and friends tops its all off. Even that day, as in almost all Latin American countries, children get their Christmas gifts.
