What you call "the day of the dead" is All Souls´Day, the 2nd. of November.
On that day Mexicans remember their dead, but do so in a dignified yet cheerful way. The whole family goes to the cemetery with flowers, candles and ... picnic baskets. They pray, celebrate and eat next to the graves of their loved ones, as if the dead were still living and taking part.
It is a very impressive and expressive way of confirming family solidarity and remembering those who are now dead, but are still very much be members of the family.
Go to a Hispanic cemetery on the 2nd. of November in Albuquerque or any other south-western city and you will be impressed.

the day of the ineffective is greater like the a dinner occasion for the spirits of your ineffective ancestors and not lots approximately being a definite occasion to celebrate all of the saints that don't have their very own dinner occasion days. Halloween is definitely a Christian trip that has degenerated via the way. It become an attempt to apply the marking of the fall equinox for a church ceremony. All Hallows interprets quite as all of the Holy ones. Please be conscious that the mexican day of the ineffective is supported via an extremely genuinely Christian inhabitants with a Catholic background.
