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
Besos
Lorenza
Hey Lorenza,
ReplyDeleteThanks 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!
hi Lorenza, wow, los reyes magos brought you some nice presents and treats. will you get to eat the tamales too? that sounds like a fun tradition.
ReplyDeletewoofers.
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.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Clive
Hey there Lorenza,
ReplyDeleteWow!! 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?
ReplyDeletethat food looks good! WE LIKE READING ABOUT ALL YOUR CUSTOMS, we need more days to get presents!
ReplyDeleteToys and treats! Good for you!
ReplyDeletewags 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?
ReplyDeletewooohooo... your new toys and treats and clthes looks very coool! You got so many pressies.
ReplyDeleteLuv,
Snowball
Lorenza,
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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

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

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...
ReplyDeleteUn besote.
Hola, Lorenza! Too bad your mom has you on a diet :(
ReplyDeleteIf 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...
