Happy Three Kings Day!
 

Did you find the baby Jesus? Let us know.

Kinda bummed, dont have anyone to share with so I know I am going to find the baby jesus.

Still convinced that isht is a big ole choking hazzard, lol.

got to find the right piece of cake...
we've got one restaurant offering a nice gift certificate. most others aren't doing much.

I thought the baby-in the-cake thing only happened around Mardi Gras/Lent...:confused:

Is this where they put the baby Jesus in cake? I have heard of it, but never done it.

My family is doing ours tonight. Traditionally, for Mexican families, the Rosca is done tonight. I'm not quite sure why. I'll have to ask mom b/c she knows a lot more than I do. I just enjoy the bread & hope I don't get the baby.

eating babies?
weird...

My mom had a king cake sent to use from my hometown of New Orleans on Monday...fun times....the same guy who found the baby last year found it this year....

Y'all, what they're talking about is that at Hispanic 3 Kings' Days celebrations, we often get a Kings' Cake--Rosca de Reyes-- that has a little glass baby baked into it and whoever gets the piece with the baby has to give the next celebration. Traditionally, it's a party on Candlemas (Feb. 2), but some families just say you give the first Christmas party next year or the next 3 Kings' Day party.

My family will be at a big celebration on the 8th...the kids can't wait for the piñata! Da le, da le, da le!

In my religious tradition, today is celebrated as Epiphany. We get extra days of Christmas, longer with the tree, and sometimes more presents.
