January 6.

Oh, Panama you do know a lot!!!

Some families are changing to Santa Claus and getting their presents on Dec 25, which I don't really like Traditionally, at least in my family, you get a small present on the night of the 24, left by the child Jesus

On "Día de Reyes" (do you speak Spanish???? ) people do the same things as most do on the 25 elsewhere. Getting up early, opening presents, spending the day with the family, being happy... And we have a traditional kind of sweet which is called "Roscón de Reyes". It's a sort of crown... and it's delicious!

I love setting up the manger!! Building the scenery, unwrapping the figurines, etc. It's just great. And yes we're supposed to move the Kings a little bit closer each day... but at least in mine it's pretty difficult because of space problems so let's just say they really come overnight

I just love most Christmas traditions and this time of the year. And January 6 is one of the most special days in the year... It is for me anyway!!

So tell me, how come you know so much about Spanish Christmas traditions, Panama?

i would say i was spanish but my spanish sucks right? lol
well i do know how to speak a little spanish, but when i was learning it we used to tlk abt spanish tradtions a lot! it was so cool because i really didnt know of particular nations doing something completely different. for example here..its santa clause and over in spain its the Kings who bring the presents. i always thought it was fun. and i think during my spanish oral exam i tlked a little bit about it . (must have impressed them cause got a star!)

but i dont know enough. it would be great if i could just go over there this time of year and see what its really like. but i must have missed loads out!! you have to tell us more.

I'm sure you can speak much more Spanish than you confess to!!

As for Spanish Christmas I don't think there's much more to it than we've already mentioned! We've covered most of it!

Maybe now you could try and speak Spanish :P

It isn't here

It's here neither but I live in a Bundesland where there are the least days off work. Some times I wish I'd live in Bavaria LOL.

I think the Russians also celebrate Christmas with presents on January 6.

no it's public holiday day but many companies here are closed over christmas and start working again on january 7th so all it means to me is last day of x-mas holidays

some poeple I think the orthotox christs? celebrate Christmas than, and some well the catholics have the day of the 3 holy kings (just a try to translate that lol) for us it`s the end of christmas. Holidays are over and the christmas tree gets thrown out

In Spain the three kings are called the three magician kings

lo siento, pero no lo se. que puedo decir?
