Perhaps that we all know that we all have different traditions because of the different cultures. Well this past three days all I hear is what are, “what are you wearing for Halloween? “ And this brings to an every year discussion with my friends. The majority of my friends is Hispanic, but as well we all have different believes, cultures and traditions. Some of my friends are Christian, but one of them has the tradition of not celebrating it al all. I don’t find it weird because I respect every one believes traditions and cultures. As for the other halve of my friends are catholic and they do go out and celebrate Halloween. I personally don’t lireally celebrate Halloween but I go get dress up and try to have fun. Mean while my traditions and cultures are others. I celebrate “El Dia de Los Muertos” which means the day of the death. Each year my family starts cooking small amount of viority of food. MY mom does this “alter” in Spanish we call it “altar or ofrenda”, dedicated to the death people. MY family and I believe that the spirit of our love ones come to our house each year to eat. We put food, pictures, candy, candles, flowers, drinks and bread. The food is for the spirits to eat. We put vioryties of drinks chocolate and champurrado are put for both the adult and kids. The tequilas and the other beer and hard liquor are just for the adults. The flowers is to make them feel welcome, there is one flower in particular we use is called “sepasulchi,” it has a weird strong smell. The candles are to help the spirits find their way home. As for the pictures, are put to remember the ones who had past way. 
On Oct. 28 with start making our “ofrendas” the first one is dedicated to all the people who die in accidents and to the unborn ones. On Oct. the 31st is for all the kids, Nov. 1st is for all the adults and for the death ones in general is on Nov. the 2nd. Also on November the 2nd at 12 midnight my family takes flowers to all of our love ones, and sometimes takes them mariachi. We believe that that same night they return back to their grave yard so with mariachi and flowers is a way to welcome then and say “laters” to them. And each year is the same. Well “happy Halloween” to everyone or” Feliz Dia de Los Muertos” or to what ever you might celebrate or don’t celebrate on October the 31st.
