According to Wikipedia (and every store and television commercial):
"In Chile, Children's Day Día del Niño is celebrated on the first Sunday of August. It retains none of the international flavor as a day to recognize the needs of or rights of children, but is observed merely as a commercial holiday dedicated to buying toys for children."
So the biggest day besides Christmas is around the corner and my kids have started to ask what they will get. Nothing like picking up some of the more American-style holidays here - oy!
We will probably go to El Estadio for their event and try to forgo the presents although maybe throw in a chocolate bar or something. All we need is a collection of more things to bring back home!
