My parents always had us kids place our shoe outside the kitchen door. A Barbie was my best present ever as a kid!
(I think I just told you my age! lol 40 years ago Barbie was "the" hottest toy- no pun intended!)
But as a grown up the best present
Los Tres Reyes Magos brought to me was
My Daughter Yajaira
and to celebrate I am having 6 Giveaways!
Here is a bit of info on how it is celebrated in México.The presents are not received on Christmas, for Christmas is a celebration of Life of Our Savior.
The children's celebration of receiving presents is not until January 6th, "el día de Reyes", the day of the Kings, or the Wise Men Day. It is the Magi who brought the presents to the Baby Jesus, thus, they bring the toys to the boys and girls who have been good. The children place their shoes by the window, so the Magi place the present in the shoe. It the present is bigger than the shoe, it will be placed next to it.
El dia de Reyes is celebrated with a "Merienda" consisting of hot chocolate and "The Rosca de Reyes". "La Merienda is the meal that takes. place any time between 5 P.M. and 7 P.M. it is not a heavy meal but the equivalent of "High Tea".
Melin from CookingWithCricut (she is in the hop) created these files (Reyes) so I can use them here today!!!

In this pictures you see my nieces and nephews!!
Can you believe that the kid/King with the red cover is currently serving in the
Marines in Afghanistan!!!....prayers!
Word of advise: Do not attempt to cut at 3"in.!!!....all those little intricate pieces!
