Or Epiphany, if you prefer; or even call it the 12th day of Christmas. There are a couple of families on our block who still have a Christmas tree, and few more with lights up, but I think the lights have more to do with not wanting to climb on ladders in torrential downpours.

 

Since we were away for Christmas, we still have presents to open. We thought it would be kind of nice to save them until the end, sort of spread out the excitement a bit. Our 20/20 dietician, Lida, mentioned that she spent part of her childhood in Argentina, where Three Kings Day was almost more exciting for children than Christmas itself. Of course, we're not organized enough at our house to do it in the morning.
