Is there such a thing as the Three Wise Men? Of course they do.
Fantasy and reality merge and merge at Christmas.
A little by tradition and a little by convenience.
Most human beings on this planet like to live for a few days immersed in a game of illusions and good intentions.
It is a question of health, mental and physical.
For children, Christmas is a time when the fantastic reality in which they live throughout the year is magnified.
According to specialists, children acquire a higher and higher degree of understanding of reality as the years go by. “Between the ages of 1 and 4, they perceive camels and even the Three Wise Men as a reality.
They are not yet ready to understand abstract concepts.
From ages 4 to 6, children may begin to wonder if the Three Wise Men are real.
Between the ages of 6 and 8, they are ready to understand that the Three Wise Men are not real, or at least not in a strict sense.
The ability to think abstractly usually develops between the ages of 7 and 14.” Source: Headlights, Hospital Sant Joan de Déu website.
At Christmas, we adults also pretend to believe in fantasy and in the Three Wise Men.
And that, despite the fact that our brain waves are not the most suitable for doing so. “From the age of 2 to 5 or 6, children begin to manifest slightly higher wave frequencies, the zeta, of 4-8 cycles per second. Zeta-functioning children live in a trance-like state and are mostly connected to their inner world. They live in the realm of the abstract and imagination and show little nuance of critical and rational thinking. For this reason, young children tend to accept what they are told (Santa Claus is real)”. Source: book “Stop being you. The mind creates reality”, by Joe Dispenza.
La Navidad es una época en la que, de repente, como por arte de magia, los adultos comparten con los más pequeños un mismo propósito: todos sienten el irrefrenable impulso de regalar y ser regalados.
Por amor, por familiaridad, por amistad, por compromiso o porque sí.
Por y para que existan los Reyes Magos. Christmas gifts connect us with fantasy and wishes. To give a gift is to convey a message of love.
To “give a gift” means to “recognize” the person to whom we are giving a gift.
To recognize their values, their virtues, their talent, their sensitivity, their culture.
Some gifts, for example, a good book, are a compliment because they show that we consider those who receive them to be cultivated people.
The same happens with art, when art becomes a gift.
Giving art to a child is to take him into consideration, to “recognize” him, to make him think that he is important, and, therefore, to help him to increase his self-esteem.
If we give a painting to a child, one of our purposes will be to provide him with a stimulating and beautiful image but also the opportunity to get to know and connect with his sensitivity and to learn to appreciate beauty. 
Moreover, this image will not lose value when the child moves on to a new stage of his childhood, or when he grows up, develops and becomes an adult, on the contrary, the image will become familiar and recognizable, and its emotional and artistic meaning will be enriched.
Our gift bears the signature of an artist and also carries the child’s name as the owner, something that will make him or her keep it, creating a deeper emotional bond than the one with a toy.
Surely many of us remember what hung on the walls of our room when we were little and perhaps many of us would like to get it back. A Plom Gallery gift can become a lifelong memory.
