Directionaly Challenged Magi

We all know Jesus was born on Christmas Day........ One thing we don't often think of is the journey it took the 3 Kings, also known as the Wise Men or Magi. As the star shone bright that Christmas night their journey began...... Today some celebrate Christmas through Jan 5th as the 12 days of Christmas, then on Jan 6th is the celebration of 3 Kings day~ a popular Spanish tradition. This is the day some families choose to present gifts because it is the day the Magi would have arrived bearing gifts to the savior.

Well in our household.... our Magi are a bit directionally challenged and as in most activities we arrived late. Sorry baby Jesus!
