Little Christmas

Dear little one,

Have you heard of Little Christmas? It's a special day that happens after Christmas, on January 6th.

On Christmas day, we celebrate the birth of Jesus. But on Little Christmas (also known as Epiphany), we remember the visit of the Three Wise Men who travelled a very long way to visit baby Jesus.

In some countries, people celebrate Little Christmas with big feasts and parades. They also exchange gifts, just like on Christmas day.

So, it's like a mini-Christmas celebration that helps us remember the important visit of the Three Wise Men to Jesus.

I hope that helps you understand what Little Christmas is all about, little one!
