The holiday, Epiphany, was yesterday. Epiphany is the twelfth night after Christmas and was (supposedly) the day the 3 kings found the baby Jesus. It kicks off carnival and ends with Mardi Gras. (I think.) Anyhoo, every year I make a King Cake to celebrate. It's basically a large, wreath-shaped cinnamon roll with a plastic baby doll (to represent baby Jesus) hidden inside. 
The roll is cut into pieces and whoever finds the plastic baby Jesus will have good luck for a year and, per tradition, is supposed to bring the next King Cake the following year. Also, if you host a party with a King Cake, the person who finds the baby Jesus is King or Queen of the party. Maxine got the baby Jesus this year. 
Epiphany just gives me a holiday to celebrate in January and it helps /Christmas last a little longer around my house.

Such a fun tradition!
Try throwing some fruit loops in the toilet. McKay loved that game.
oh man i know exactly what you are going through with that potty training thing! Easton at least wanted to go sometimes and did, but then when we got serious about it he would scream at me every time I would try to coax him to the potty! It really brought out the devil child in him. So I stopped. Good luck! I'm excited to see how it goes!
