That night we went for the last night of lights at the park. It was completely a carnival atmosphere with stilt walkers, face painting, balloons, etc. and a huge crowd jammed in together walking around.

Three Kings' Day
Another holiday they celebrate in the Caribbean is Three Kings' Day in honor of the Wise Men who arrived to bring gifts to Baby Jesus. The office was closed that day too. One of the missionaries, who is from Puerto Rico, explained a bit about this tradition. Families decorate boxes--like shoeboxes--and put them under the beds with a glass of water for the camel and some grass for the camel. In the morning, children find little gifts in the boxes, small games and treats. Here is a box she decorated and filled to show.
