Happy Release Week for Hooray, It's Three Kings Day . 🎄 I miss how we used to build a tiny village under the tree with flowing water and include all the important nativity figures. 🎁 I always loved the 3 kings and always remembered celebrating Day 6 of January with our Portuguese King Cake, which is a very tasty cake with fruit. Like Santa leaves gifts on the 24th (December) night, the Kings leave on the 5th (January). ❤️ This book explains well what Kings Day is and even i
