Not celebrated by the British except for a few like me who have a link to undiluted Christian celebrations. If you don't know, the time when the 3 kings visited baby Jesus was January 5th and not Christmas Eve as others would have you believe. A merge of faiths and the impossibility of having two celebrations to close together meant that a rubber was used in the history book. Anyway on the night of the 5th today´s 3 kings can be seen on a float throwing sweets to the children who line the streets in anticipation. After this the kids go home to find their gifts await them under the tree. Santa is known and gifts are given on the 24th of December but the creepy fat guy in a red suit who wants your kid to sit on his knee is only just making his name and that's only because of the extra presents.
