there's this village in portugal called arraiolos where they have that same tradition of opening the presents on the 6th jan. we call it kings' day, do you too? usually the 6th is when we remove xmas decorations.
Yeah, we call it king's day as well. Xmas finish in spain the 6th. When i was living in England it was kind of sad, you know just xmas eve, xmas day and boxing day.
It was too short.

Well over here in Mexico we have that same tradition "Los Santos Reyes" and its usually only gifts for kids, while in Christmas everyone gets presents, i think its a legacy of the spanish colonization.
Yeah,i suppose. In Spain everybody gets presents on Kings day. But now in xmas eve people are starting to give presents, i think is consecuence of the USA colonization.
Anyway in the Basque regions in xmas eve comes the "Olentzero" that is a old man with a sack.
