cubanmiamiboy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 So it is today that we Cuban open our presents. It is the Three Kings day, and so toys are being handed by parents in the morning.after the kings stopped by in their camels during the night, and the Christmas tree is ready to be taken down tomorrow. During my childhood days, and from 1959 up until present day, this celebration was forbidden and suppressed in a public way, although it continued to be celebrated privately and within the catholic church micro communities. So, FELIZ DIA DE REYES!!! Link to comment
sandik Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 We had a big discussion at the dinner table last night about why it took the Magi so long to get to Bethlehem -- our 21st century kid couldn't believe it took 12 days, "even with camels." Link to comment
