Three Kings Day
On Sunday January 6, the last day of the christmas season, the children of Belgium celebrated three king's day. They dress up as the three kings of Jerusalem, go from house to house singing carols, and in return get some pocket change. Afterwards, everyone eats the "galette des rois" (king's cake), in which is hidden a miniature doll of jesus. Whoever gets the doll in their slice (and loses a tooth in the process) becomes king for the day. Luke is still a little young for the caroling or cake eating, but that didn't stop us from celebrating anyhow. Even though this picture show Luke as the king, it was my mom that became queen of the day!
