Celebrate Three Kings’ Day With Best Buy & Microsoft Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. A huge congrats to Megan Parsons!

The months leading up to Christmas are filled with much anticipation and excitement. Beyond the toys and gifts, my children enjoy all aspects of the season…from decorating our tree to baking cookies and decorating Gingerbread Houses. Earlier this week, my children asked us how long it would be until we celebrated Christmas again. They’re already eagerly anticipating the much-awaited holiday, making lists and plans for our elf.

Many families continue to celebrate the joy of the season through cultural traditions such as Día de los Reyes (aka Three Kings’ Day). Celebrated on January 6th, it’s often deemed the last day of the Christmas season (ending the 12 days of Christmas). Historically, this is the day the Magi visited and presented gifts to Baby Jesus, thus, in many Hispanic cultures, children receive gifts on this day. Parades, festivals, and family gatherings typically characterize this day.

For Hispanic families looking for gifts for this holiday, Best Buy offers a complete online and in-store Spanish language experience. Recognizing the importance of Día de los Reyes, they’ve partnered with Microsoft to help families celebrate the day with a variety of gift options including Xbox 360 and Xbox Live (Offers access to radio, TV, movies, etc.).

As someone who grew up playing video games, I’m thoroughly impressed with how technology has advanced in the world of gaming. Even at my children’s young ages, there are engaging, educational games that get them moving and make them an active participant. Kinect, in particuarly, has offered them the opportunity to game in an innovative way. And if your loved ones already own a system, a Best Buy eGift Card is a great alternative so that they can buy the games they want. When you purchase a gift card online, it will be delivered immediately to the person you are gifting.

Best Buy has over 1,000 stores in the US with Spanish-speaking sales associates in 300+ locations who can assist with your Xbox 360 purchase.
