January 6: Three Kings Day, also known as The Epiphany, is celebrated on January 6th, twelve days after Christmas. It is essentially the last day of christmas(the end of the twelve day of Christmas). Three Kings day or or Dia de los Reyes, is one of the most important days in the Spanish religious calendar. Traditionally on three kings day, Spanish children dress as kings and go door to door; they  sing carols and tell stories of the three men who followed the bright star of Bethelem to bring gifts to the the Christ's child. In return for their singing and stories, the children are given treats like sweet bread. In Spain today, Kings will walk through the streets throwing sweets into the crowd.  In New York city, many celebrations will take place with traditional hispanic festivities.

Around The Orb:The Dutch and Flemish call this day Drie koningen (Three Kings' Day). In the Netherlands and Belgium, children in groups of three (symbolising the three kings) proceed in costume from house to house while singing songs typical for the occasion, and receiving a coin or some sweets at each door. In France, on Epiphany people eat the gâteau des Rois in Provence or the galette des Rois in the northern half of France and Belgium. This is a kind of king cake, with a trinket (usually a porcelain figurine of a king) or a bean hidden inside. The person who gets the piece of cake with the trinket becomes "king" for a day.^Wikipedia
