Traditional church calendars extend the advent season to the 4 Sundays after Christmas, in which the wise men/kings/magi, who were Gentiles, go back to their respective lands with the news of the child savior. In Switzerland, bakeries began offering "kings bread," served with a crown on top.
Michael and Jack modeled the crown for me, although none of us really cared for the actual loaf.
BTW, yesterday featured a rare teachers' strike, so M & J stayed home with me, while Carolyn took her French quiz class downstairs (she joined the class this term). Homemade banners like this "school on strike" were hung everywhere, but it's very contained - ie it lasted one morning and supervised play was organized in place of school.
