Like all the other festive days, Los Reyes Magos also have their traditions. Just as Sinterklaas you place a shoe near the chimney and you are either left a present or a piece of carbon when you have been a naughty girl or boy (that’s right, carbon! Carbon which has the power to kill!! Not like a roe brought by Sinterklaas) Needless to say, I received the carbon but lived to tell the tale (in my case the Carbon was made of sugar, but I got the warning!!).
Everybody loves the three magic kings and everybody has their favorite. Many choose Balthazar because he is black. I am all for positive discrimination. I choose Melchior because he has a funny name. I can’t comment on the third, because I still can’t remember his name. This year Merlin the cat joined in the fun and became the fourth – and by far the most royal – King!
This year the Kings presented me with a pyjama, (the first pair since childhood!), a pair of slippers for at home, a robe (are you noticing a trend in the presents?), more socks (always handy…or in the case…footy!), and a very useful USB memory stick (used to transfer this text from my computer onto the Blog!! Hooray for memory sticks!)Here is the whole family celebrating the arrival of Los Reyes Magos:
