Three Kings
Christmas officially ends on the Tres Reyes or Tatlong Hari in Tagalog, it is also known as the Feast of the Three Kings or Feast of Epiphany. The Feast of the Three Kings was traditionally commemorated on January 6 but is now celebrated on the first Sunday after the New Year. Some children leave their shoes out, so that the Three Kings would leave behind gifts like candy or money inside. January 6 is also known in other countries as Twelfth Night, and the Twelve Day of Christmas referred to in the Christmas Carol are the twelve days between Christmas Day, December 25, and the coming of the Three Kings,January 6.
