January 6, Epiphany. Beautiful holiday, celebrated as part of Puerto Rico's Christmas Holidays.
it is known as the day of the Three Kings (or wise men/magi): Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. According to an old legend based on a Bible story, these three kings saw, on the night when Christ was born, a bright star, followed it to Bethlehem and found there the Christchild and presented it with gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Children in PR put grass in a shoebox and put it under their beds. When they wake up, the shoebox is filled with goodies, toys and candies. Families celebrate together and go to church.

Christmas - because in keeping of the tradition of Jesus and His birth I have kept the love in the spirit of giving to my family and those in need. I adore the entire season and what it stands for Love and giving of yourself to others. The crisp scent of snow in the air and the beautiful decorations its just indescribable, I absolutely love it.
Merry Christmas!
