Pretty sure there's not much to do on January sixth in Washington until 2029. Although, this time the incumbent president can't legally run for re-election, so I don't think there is going to be an excuse this time.

... Anyway, today is Epiphany day however, which is an official holiday here in Sweden. So let's just say that's what this thread is for.

Yes, we call it Three Kings Day. Happy Holidays!

It's not a holiday here despite the date being well known. We usually eat Bolo Rei(King's Cake) on this day.
Spoiler:


I'm not a fan of this cake, though.

I guess he doesn't qualify as African American to cubed because he doesn't say things like "yessa massa", "sup dawg", "yo", "kill whitey" and "shee-it negro!"

Dunno if that's a joke or if it's code word for something else, but I'm gonna say... no.

no I was for real.

My wife’s family is Cajun, and down there they bake a little baby Jesus toy into the King cake and whoever gets that slice has to buy/bake the cake next year. They’re also really good, so y’all must be making them wrong lol

Oh... well the kind of cake I posted is just the Portuguese variation of a cake that's eaten on this day across several different countries in the world. Each country will have its own variation of it, and sounds like that's what happens in the Cajun variation of it.

And I don't think most kids would want a baby Jesus toy anyway.

Rosca de reyes can be different depending on the country, Spain's and Mexico's vary a bit. And yes they do put a baby jesus plastic figure or sometimes a whole nativity scene and their collectable, or someitmes they make them out of chocolate so you can eat them.

Yep, Dia de Los Tres Reyes. Back in Mexico we used to throw a party and have The Rosca with a little figure hidden somewhere in there. Whoever gets the slice with the figure gets to throw the next party.


Also it's Cammy's birthday so I played with her for a few hours in Street Fighter 6 today.

OH those cakes, that some people put the plastic baby in. That explains a lot why some guy in a store, not knowing I'm strictly a card company employee, asked if I knew where he might find a bag full of babies. Me: "A what now??" a bit baffled after being so focused on getting Christmas taken down and switched out with Valentines in my many stores.
