Holiday differences

It's been two years since I've celebrated Christmas in the traditional american way. And to tell you the truth it's way different in Mexico than here. Over there, families have a type of doll that's suppose to resemble Jesus and they soothe it to "sleep" on Christmas eve. There is a separate holiday for presents. Here in America, presents are given on Christmas. It's really interesting to see the different "versions" of Christmas. Although, the same concept of someone giving presents to the little ones is the same. January sixth is when presents are given. The name of the holiday is Three Kings day. This holiday symbolizes the gift giving that the three wise-men gave back in the day. The thing that is really annoying is that the kids don't get to enjoy Three Kings day in Mexico like things kids in america enjoy christmas. The reason for this, they have school the next day. But come on, how cool is it to come to school the day after you got a new toy or something you've always wanted, I know my cousins think so. So there you go, a little something to think about this christmas.
