Tomorrow is the big day – El Día de los Reyes, The Day of the Kings or Three Kings Day. This is the day all little boys and girls have been looking forward to – the day when the Magi come and give gifts!
So, that day being tomorrow, today is the day you need to be sure the Kings know what you want them to give you. No postage needed for this – although postage might be cheaper! What you need is a helium balloon.
Attach your letter to the Magi to the string, and let the balloon go up — up — up — —
And tomorrow, we hope to get a few surprises in the house!
As we looked up into the sky today, from time to time we could see tiny balloons of various colours rising up and up and up….
By strange coincidence, bank machines and toy stores are incredibly busy today. But I’m sure the two traditions are in no way connected.
