Hello Johny!

I’ve received your email, well I can´t tell you too much about what you’re require me for your assignment but I’d tell you what I know.

I in Mexico we love celebrating Day of Dead, because is the day when we can remember and pray to our relatives that has already died. Mexicans usually makes “ofrendas” the ofrendas usually have sugar skulls, some food (the food that the person when was alive prefer), and many people put some water and money, also some things that was belong to them. The ofrendas are like an altar that use to give honor to them, also some of them goes to the pantheon to visit their relatives and gave them some flowers.

My family put a ofrenda and we go to the Parthenon to visit our family who has already died, and sometimes we decorate our house with trimmings.

Halloween is a holiday that is celebrated on the night of October 31st. Children wear costumes and they go to peoples' homes saying "Trick or treat!" to ask for candies or sweet, but if you don’t gave them candies they make you funny mischiefs like throw to your house toilet paper, or many others.

The origins of this holiday is pagan, is said that may wiccans celebrate it first, but it was called the Day of Dead, that is when the spirits and the souls of dead people come back to Earth.

It have been changing a lot because before they do that to scary people and with the purpose to invoke bad spirits, demons souls and to kill a lot of people, and now we celebrate it like a funny holiday when you can spend time with your kids.

I hope you finish your homework, lucky.

Itzel.
