The document discusses the traditions associated with Three Kings Day, a Christian holiday commemorating the biblical Magi's visit to baby Jesus. On this day in Mexico, gifts are traditionally exchanged instead of Christmas. Families gather for a meal of tamales and hot chocolate, with the person finding a figurine baked into a special bread obliged to make tamales for Candlemas. After dinner, children leave out shoes to receive gifts from the Three Kings overnight.
