Barcelona does it right

Wow, now that's a costume. Barcelona knows what it's doing. According to yahoo news, Spanish children normally get their presents on Epiphany (from the three wise men of course), and not Christmas. I imagine this is changing as secular encroachments emphasize gift-giving at Christmas more than Epihpany.

Oh well, in our house we always receive the presents from our parents on Epiphany, not Christmas (when we open presents from everyone else). I mean - it makes sense, after all. Jesus had to wait until Epiphany to get His presents, right? - so we should too. Here's to upholding Catholic traditions! In about a half hour my siblings should wake up and we can all go see what's under the tree.

Hmm, I do regret not making it to Barcelona when I was in Europe, it would have been great to visit the family that sent two of their daughters to spend seperate summers with us when we lived in San Diego. *sigh* ... next time.
