In Singapore the decorations and supermarket gifts have changed from Xmas to Chinese New Year, in Fairprice in Bujit Panjang.
In Australia you can buy Easter eggs and hot cross buns in supermarkets and stores, such as Coles and Woolworths.
When I read the news on Google last night, January 6th, I was sent articles to read on making stollen and hot cross buns.
January 6th is celebrated as Christmas day in several European countries (with January 5th being Christmas Eve. I discovered this when visiting my parents in Marbella, Spain, where they had a one bedroom flat.
January 6th, my diary tells me was epiphany. What is epiphany? The appearance of the three wise men. Some sources say Shepherds, others say kings, others say wise men.
The word epiphany, which I checked in the Oxford dictionary online, is from the Greek meaning to reveal. Revealing the birth to the gentiles, the non-Jews in distant lands.
If you like eggs, you might be interested in egg museums.
