On the night of January 5th, children will put their shoes at the door of the room and wait for the arrival of the Three Eastern Doctors (los Reyes Magos). They also prepared grass and water for the Doctor's camels, as well as milk and biscuits to entertain the Doctor's.

The next morning, when the children get up early, they will look for gifts in their shoes, and then spend the day at a friend's house.

When Argentines celebrate the New Year, there is a very elegant and wonderful activity. They believe that water is the holiest. Every year on New Year's Day, Argentina, located in the southern hemisphere, is midsummer. The whole family goes to the river to take a "New Year's bath" to wash away all filth on their bodies. Before going into the water, sprinkle a basket of fresh flower petals on the water, then jump into the "flower water" to bathe, and rub your body with bright petals for happiness and good luck.

January is also the time for Argentina to take annual leave. Famous coastal tourist cities are crowded with people coming for vacation. Argentines often go into battle with all ages, rent a tent on the beach, bask in the sun and swim during the day, and set off fireworks and barbecues on the beach at night to enjoy the New Year atmosphere in summer.
