Instructions

1. Throw a party. Gather your family and friends together. Send out invitations or simply make phone calls to invite friends and family over for Three Kings Day. Let them know that there will be a gift exchange. If this is an ongoing tradition with your family, then perhaps the planning will be more informal, but if you are hosting a gift exchange on Three Kings Day for the first time, be sure to let everyone know that they are expected to bring a gift.

2. Buy a gift that fits the celebration. Get into the spirit of gift giving that is celebrated on the feast of the Epiphany by being as generous and as thoughtful as you can. Consider giving a gift of frankincense, gold or myrrh to each person as a token to mark the occasion.

3. Decorate for the occasion. Just leave up your Christmas decor and call it a day.

4. Enjoy yourself. The best part of the Christmas season is that it's the season of giving, and Three Kings is the pinnacle of this spirit of giving. The best gift that you can give to your family and friends is your time, attention and love.
