Feast of the Epiphany

Today marks the Feast of the Epiphany, end of the twelve days of Christmas, and Día de los Reyes in Spanish-speaking countries.

This is the customary day for gift exchanges in many Christian cultures because it is the day that the Magi finally arrived in Bethlehem with their totally inappropriate gifts after putzing around for over a week because they didn’t want to ask for directions.

This is why a GPS makes the perfect Epiphany gift.

It certainly has a lot more to recommend it than soft metal, stinking tree sap, and bitter medicine, but I think that diapers would have been more welcome at the original event. Actually I wondered if the trip to Egypt wasn’t really to stock up on cotton diapers which are a lot more absorbent than linen.
