We always made sure ours had enough water, and we always observed this day, too.
LOL, we always joked that Three Kings Day, was “Christmas makeup day”, so that if that gift you ordered didn’t make it on time, you would just give it out on Three Kings Day. Or if a gift became much cheaper after Christmas, you’d just buy it afterwards and it was for Three Kings Day.
We kept the trees watered but they still got very dry———maybe you started off with fresher trees.
The crèche stayed up until January 6-——We never considered the tree that important,I guess.
