"The Day of the Dead"

Ok, As all of you know, Im Mexican, and in my country we celebrate "The day of the dead" If you want to know what is this, check it out:

We've been celebrating this date for hundreds of years. We think that the November 2th, our relatives (dead, of course!) come to visit us to our places... they (or their souls) have permision to be in the living people's world just for a day. So, people use to put an "altar" in their homes with the favorite stuffs that the dead person used to eat when he or she was alive.
We put in the Altar all this things: Candles (to light their way), Flowers ("senpasuchil" I dont know whats the name of this flower in english, but some people call it "the flower of deads". People think that the smell of this flower hepls them to find the way to their homes), their favorit meal (Of course, Mexican food, Tequila, sigarrets, candies, coffe, etc.), for the children toys.
My grandma put the altar in the living room. At 12:00 am she opens the door to let our relatives souls in to the house.
Here in Guadalajara there's a cementery named "Panteon de Belen". Every year in the middle of the place at 12:00 Pm they make a play about the Dead. This cementery has like 600 year-old, and it has a lot of stories. I've been going for 2 years. The sensation is amazing, be in the middle of a cementery, in the middle of the night, watching a play about the dead...

We respect the dead, and we remember this day our loved people that is not here anymore.

But, we have too our tipical humor sense, as all Mexican people, we laugh of the dead too. We make jokes about the dead.

Well.... I guess thats all..... thanks for taking the time to read this.
