Day of the Dead

As you know it will be The Day of the Dead on the 1st and 2nd of November.
This year we are lucky enough to have amazing hand made candles to have on our ofrenda inspired by the Bi-Centenario celebrations and exhibitions i saw a month ago in Mexico City.
Its a time to remember the dead and Party with them. In my experience of the Day of the Dead in Mexico it is a jubilant occasion with everyone honoring the relatives at the cemetery with food, tequila and musicians, laughing and dancing are normal, what a beautiful way to remember your loved ones!
