The Three Kings or Epiphany celebration (January 6) is the time of the year when Mexican people exchange presents and gifts are given to children -- they don't believe in Santa Claus, a Nordic character.

Historically, the Three Kings were the Biblical Magi, or Three Wise Men: Melchior, Gaspar, Balthazar. They visited Jesus after his birth, giving him gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincense.
