Day of the Death

Day of the Death is not a satanic or a horror celebration. It' s a Mexican tradition of honoring the dead. We remember our loved ones visiting them in the graveyard and bringing them gifts, like the foods, drinks and stuff they liked when alive.

Another tradition is to laugh of the dead, composing little verses involving people still alive who are taken to the land of the dead by the 'bony'.

We tried to write a rhyme for this post involving the bear but we couldn' t come up with something good so if you are interested you can google around for 'Calaveritas'.
