Thanks, Michelle. It does sound weird, but this is actually a lovely holiday. People gather to remember friends and family members who have died. The celebration takes place Nov. 1 (All Saints Day) and Nov. 2 (All Souls Day). There is lots of eating and partying. And altars ("ofrendas") are prepared that have photos, mementos and other favorite items (including food) of the deceased loved one. A very colorful and interesting celebration.
