Go back today (6 de enero), and take another photo with time stamp and tell me if the MH aisle looks the same.
Unfortunately, I will concede one point: día de reyes is a tradition on the decline. There are children who still enjoy having both, Christmas and día de reyes gifts, but for the parents is kind of expensive, and because marketing the coca-cola fat pet is gaining territory and fewer families celebrate the dia de reyes each year with gifts. Most families only eat rosca.
However, in many parts is still a very important date for toy companies, and even some chains not focused on toys, like wal mart, remain open all night so the parents can take the children to the bed, go and buy gifts and place them during the night so when the children wake up, they find them. Fuck, I remember some years ago a governmental office ran a short-lived campaign to made the parents aware the proper gifts for día de reyes are toys, not clothes or something else. Think on what a children wants, not what an adult needs.
