When I was a young girl, my parents would celebrate Three Kings Day on January 6. We would get a token gift at Christmas then our nice presents plus clothes in January. I know my mom saved money by doing this even though we never did get lots of things. I didn't know any different so it was okay. When I had my own family, we celebrated by having cookies and cocoa in front of the fire on Christmas eve and opening one present from under the tree. Our meal was usually a ham with the trimmings. On Christmas we had a big breakfast meal and used up some of the leftover ham. Watched the parade on TV, opened presents. Slept in front of the fire. Christmas dinner was either Chinese take out or a rib roast. As empty nesters, we order a Greenberg turkey from Tyler, TX and enjoy that for a few days and then make a wonderful split pea soup with the trimmings and the carcass. Yum.
