MEXICO CITY.
WITH RENEWED ILLUSION
After the quarantine, the minors have adapted their lives to a new normal and their requests as well; this year this tradition will leave a spill of 4 thousand 439 million pesos.
YOU WANT A SANITARY KIT
Michelle is 7 years old and, despite her young age, she has become aware of what life means following the arrival of covid-19.
That is why he took advantage of the letter he wrote to the Three Wise Men, in which he asked each one for a toy, to request face masks and antibacterial gel.
The little girl said that they taught her that these measures mitigate the spread of SARS-CoV-2 between people.
In her letter, she even left a drawing, where Melchor, Gaspar and Baltazar wear face masks, because both she and her family know that it will be the only way in which they will be able to enter home to leave their gifts.

CHANGE OF PERSPECTIVE
At the age of 13 for Ximena the tradition of Día de Reyes has changed. You already know all the secrets regarding tradition and you are at a stage where toys no longer seem so much fun.
That is why your letter no longer has the requests such as a doll, a teddy bear or a tea set, but a blender with which you will prepare your breakfasts and desserts, as well as a blackboard with which you plan to help yourself to carry out your tasks such as the sketches for your design workshop and plastic creation. Ximena asked that the third wish be a surprise.
Despite the fact that some classmates and staff have been infected with covid at her high school, she does not want the pandemic to end, but rather that we better take care of ourselves.
I am not going to spend a wish on something that will not happen, because if that were the case, many would have wished for it, “he said.

DISTRIBUTION WITH MOUTH COVERS
At 8 years old, Amarai has already put herself in the place of the Magi during this pandemic and says that it seems like a difficult job to do with all the sanitary measures that they must follow.
I imagine they must spend a full night with the mask on and using antibacterial gel while they bring the gifts home; It must be very complicated for them ”, analyzed Amarai,
This year, the little girl asked for some foam guns to play in the park, a 3D projector and a coloring book for when she can’t go out.
Unlike last year, where there were no meetings, Amarai is excited to share January 6 with her friends.
However, he is still waiting to have his vaccine. She wants her, saying she will feel more secure.

HER DREAM IS TO BE VACCINATED
This year, Zoé asked the Three Wise Men for a lunch box of dolls that will match her backpack, since the one at home is used by her father to go to work.
Despite the fact that for almost 18 months Zoé, 6 years old, her four-year-old sister and her mother were in complete quarantine to avoid infections (only her father went out to work and shopping) Zoé has maintained the illusion of a better world and of the arrival of the Magi.
Now that she is going to school (since November), she does her favorite activity, which is talking with her friends.
My friend Marie told me that she was in Tokyo and that they are already vaccinating children once morest covid there. I would love to be vaccinated, it would be wonderful, “said the girl who hopes that the Three Wise Men intercede for her request to the health authorities.
