The hustle and bustle of the holiday season was different for us this year because we were recently blessed with the opportunity to build our home over the last several months. We moved into our new home during the holidays so in the midst of preparing for the holidays, we were also packing up boxes and coordinating a move for a family of 5. Many of our family members live in various states across the country, but we are fortunate to live in a neighboring community to my parents. Being the youngest of my siblings and my parents having me later on in life, its a priority to me that my children get to spend quality time and grow up around my parents. Tradition is very important to family and we are blend of Puerto Rican, Cuban, Spanish, Italian, Caucasian etc. ethnicities. In addition to Christmas, in Latin culture, Three Kings Day (Día de los Tres Reyes Magos) , is also celebrated on January 6th.
The Three Kings of the Epiphany are the guys who followed the star to Bethlehem, to offer the baby Jesus presents of gold, frankincense and myrrh 12 days after he was born. Los Reyes Magos, come to people’s homes on the night of January 5th (La Vípera de Reyesor the Eve of Three Kings Day) to bring them presents. Kids write their wish lists to their favorite king (Melchor, Baltazar or Gaspar), and they leave out snacks for the Three Kings (and grass for their camels) before they go to bed. On January 6th, there are huge family gatherings with lots of traditional foods.
As the ‘baby boomer generation’ get older, many of our traditional and festive customs can sometimes disappear or be forgotten with time. Families often move away and it can be difficult for customs to continue. With Net 10 Wireless Family Plans, families can stay connected and up-to-date with each other no matter where they reside.
