Día de los Muertos Day of the the Deceased
Mexicans celebrate el Día de los Muertos on November 1st and 2nd, two days to remember your loved ones who have died. You remember them by visiting their gravesite and bringing flowers and a picnic, in order to "visit" with them. It's a celebratory time, not a sad one. Children eat sugar "skulls" and decorations with skeletons abound. Some people believe that their loved ones can, on that day, rise from the dead to spend a few hours with them again.
