Day of the dead

The Day of the dead is a very special day for the Spanish speaking
world.
This day is more popular for Mexican people, it is more
traditional in their heritage. It occurs on the first of November.
People put offerings out for the dead in the form of fruit and certain
other things that the specific person liked.
The day of the dead is not a day grief nor does it have to do
with anything tragic for the Spanish speaking world, actually it is a
day of joy and happiness. It is celebrated all over. People wear
bright colors and masks as well as elaborate clothing. People can
even make a business by selling things associated with death,
some of these things can include candy skulls and paper-mache
masks which later were made out of plastic.
There is actually two days that are celebrated with death.
There is one for children and one for all the rest of the people. The
day for children is celebrated for all the kids that died young. The
offerings change for this day. Instead of more adult-like things, this
day is associated with candy and more "fun" foods. Whereas the
day for adults. Some people even put out Beer and cigarettes, it
depends on what the person used to like in his or her lifetime.
Our heritage does not even like the word death, but the
Spanish people look at it as a whole different perspective.
