6 The Bible doesn’t specify how many wise men came to see Jesus; the idea there were three came from the number of gifts. But let’s not get caught up in details: THREE KINGS’ DAY, which marks the “official” end of the Christmas season, is a date worthy of your attention. In Hispanic culture, Epiphany, or Dia de los Tres Reyes, is often observed with the giving of gifts to children. Get your gold charms and kids’ jewelry ready and consider ways to market the date.

17 Today marks DITCH YOUR RESOLUTION DAY. But don’t give up yours — if you can hold on for just another week, there is a good chance that desired behavior can become a much-easier-to-keep habit.
