Epiphany 2027 and 2028, by country
Epiphany, twelve days after Christmas, marks the Three Kings' visit, and in Spain, Italy and much of Latin America it's when children get presents: from the Kings in Spain, from the Befana in Italy. Elsewhere it's the quiet end of Christmas, when the tree comes down.

Shopping for Reyes or the Befana
Shops in Spain stay busy right up to January 5, and January sales usually start on January 7. If you're sending a present to a child in Spain, aim for it to arrive in the first days of January. The Befana's stocking is sweets and small toys, a stocking-stuffer budget.
