Three kings day

The celebration of Three Kings Day brings with it many deeply held traditions. In the olden days, children would gather grass, hay, or straw in shoeboxes for the Magi's horses or camels much like children in the US leave cookies and milk for Santa and his reindeer. Good kids are promised to be rewarded with presents and candy on Three Kings Day, while naughty kids run the risk of receiving dirt and charcoal (sound familiar?).
