Rosca de Reyes!This day, you take a slice of this bread and if you get the figurine you have to make a party the next February 2nd where the main dish are tamales.
*****
Los Reyes Magos brought me presents!Here in Mexico, and mostly in the South, Los Reyes Magos are the ones who bring presents to the kids. Since I got my presents from Santa I did not write a letter to them, but, lucky me, they brought me something anyway!
An orange monkey
A pink elephant
A squeaky spider
Treats!
A "Calvin Can" sweater and pajamas
My mom cut a piece of rosca for me, which BTW I did not eat, and I did not get a figurine. My grandpa got it, so, he is going to buy the tamales next month!
Have a good night

Hey Lorenza,
Thanks for sharing. I think it's really interesting to learn more about your culture. :) And of course getting new toys and treats makes it even more interesting!

woofers.
Hey, we'll be over for tamales!! You really got some great presents. Seems like you are always getting great thing! Good for you, you lucky doggie.
Hugs, Clive
Hey there Lorenza,
Wow!! That is a pretty rosa de reyes!! Our humans just came back from a party (our humans are mexican and they have the same traditions as you with the rosca!! :D) but we didn't get any rosca, we stayed at home... Your so lucky you got stuff from the three kings!!! We didn't, but our human siblings got clothes!! :)
Have a great day!
Wags and licks,
Maya and Kena
PS. Boy, the weather IS crazy!
Wow that's neat. Lucky for you you didn't get the figurine. How would you have bought tamales?
that food looks good! WE LIKE READING ABOUT ALL YOUR CUSTOMS, we need more days to get presents!
Toys and treats! Good for you!
wags from the whippets
That's an interesting culture! The tamales looked yummy! Oh look at all the toys and treats! Lorenza, aren't you a lucky girl?

Lorenza,
You are so lucky to get more presents. Too bad you didn't get to eat your slice of cake but we are glad you didn't get the figurine. We aren't sure how you would have been able to buy tamales! (Mom loves tamales. She says she wants to go to your house next month!)
Roxie, Sammy & Andy
Wow!! You get presents from Santa and then almost two weeks later you get more presents from those other guys!!?? That's wonderful!! You are very lucky, Lorenza. And what nice presents they were.
And that dessert looks good, too! Too bad you didn't have any. If you got the figurine you could have pretended that it was a bone.
Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie

Wow, that is quite a managerie you have there! We made tamales for Christmas this year. It was our first attempt, and they turned out just okay. We'll do better next time!

There was a cabalgata here, so Los Reyes must have been. But I still didn't get any presents.
None from Santa and none from them. I must have been such a bad Pippa last year.
Besitos

HOla Lorenza, aquí en España también se come el roscón de Reyes y hay una figurita y un haba. Quien encuentra la figura es coronado rey y quien encuentra el haba tiene que pagar el roscón. Eso es la tradición pues ya se ha perdido...
Un besote.
Hola, Lorenza! Too bad your mom has you on a diet :(
If you need any ideas for that elephant, this might help:

I think my mom and dad will be visiting Mexico in a couple of days.... their human son is in some type of year-long college program. Maybe they'll bring back some tamales...
Lorenza!!!
WOW
You are so lucky. Even the human food is making my ma go crazy..

Oh Lorenza! what a yummy rosca and good thing you didn't eat any so your health will stay good. Mommy never knew of this tradition. Apawarently, they didn't practice but since she wants to learn how to make tamales we're gonna start, yeah!
Love Licks & waggin Tx tails
Lucky Lorenza. More presents. And a happy day. I am glad you didn't choke on a tiny figurine. My owner mom got one in her cake a long time ago in Mexico.

Hi Lorenza! Sorry you didn't get the figurine but I guess it would be hard for you to go out and get the tamales anyway, hehe. Looks like you got great pressies from los reyes magos. What dress will you wear for your next party? Decisions, decisions!
