Here are some pictures that you can print out and paste them to circles made of construction paper or paper plates, laminate them use a hole puncher and tie a gold ribbon to hang it on the tree. It will be very original and theme oriented.

You should do the three Wise Men. We celebrate it every year on January 6th. Just draw three men in camels with capes (one red, one green, and one purple) they must all have camels. Oh, and say that we Boricuas are the best, hahaha!!!! Good Luck and I hope you get A+++++. LOL
