As many of you know I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. If you didn’t know Puerto Rico is a beautiful tiny island in the Caribbean and it’s still a colony of the Unites States, this means all of the people who are born in the island are American citizens. Unlike me, my husband is born and raised in New York City to Filipino mom and Trinidadian dad. Anyways, the reason I mention this is because I celebrate Three Kings Day and he doesn’t. We go back and forth on how to raise the kids multicultural. Three Kings Day is the one I won’t sacrifice.
Three Kings Day, also known as the Epiphany is absolutely the biggest celebration in Puerto Rico during the holiday season. I’m pretty sure Puerto Ricans have the biggest Three Kings Celebration in the World. But if you are not familiar with what the Epiphany is, you can read more about it here. Why do we celebrate the Three Kings (Gaspar, Melchor & Baltasar) more than we celebrate Santa Claus? Maybe because our culture is more rooted in the religious aspect of Christmas and I don’t see any nativity with Santa in it!

Therefore, being as we live in NYC and all religions have different holidays, and granted as a Catholic we get Christmas and Easter I think my kids should be able to stay home Jan 6th and celebrate Los Reyes Magos. I really don’t understand why this is not a religious even cultural holiday for Puerto Ricans is beyond me! But yes, I have decided that from now on my kids will miss school on Three Kings Day.
You might think I’m being selfish and keeping my son from an extra day of education, but honestly I am educating him at home. I am teaching him about the birth of Jesus, the Nativity, the meaning of the Epiphany. By the way, kids love it because they get extra gifts! Since the Kings brought gifts to Jesus on his birthday (myrrh, frankincense, and gold), kids get gifts as well on that day.
¡Felíz Día de Los Reyes Magos!!
