Día de los Reyes Magos

After new year (December 31 to January 1) Mexico has another big tradition. On January 5 we celebrate El Día de los Reyes Magos. The Reyes Magos were three kind of "wizards" that gave Jesus three gifts on his birth (gold, incense and myrrh). The family and friends get united on January 5 to talk and eat "Rosca de Reyes", drink cofee or chocolate. Later at night the Reyes Magos come when everybody is sleeping and leve in your house some gifts (like Santa Claus).
