Random Facts About Christmas #4 -

At this time of the year around our home in North Carolina you cannot walk into a single store without seeing santa and a line of children waiting to sit on his lap and share their wish list.  It will be rare to find a santa in the malls here, but instead you will find the Three Wise Men.  However, they are not out yet.  Since we have not yet celebrated Christ's birth they could not be on their way yet.  They will appear the day after Christmas and will help prepare for Los Tres Reyes (Three Kings Day) on January 6.  Children will wait in line to choose a king to sit on his lap and share their wish list.  Often the three kings will have distinct different appearances - a white haired one, a brown haired one, and a black king.
