Dia de los Muertos!

Todays post will be in honor of "Dia de los Muertos" (Day of the Dead) the day of the dead. In this day we celebrate the people who have passed away in our lives. We remember them and we celebrate their lives. It's not necessarily a day where we are sad. On this day we remember the good of these people, our loved ones who have passed away. On the day of the dead it is very common to use lots of bright colors to bring joy. There is a lot of feasting and music playing on this day. It is very common to light up a candle near a photo of your loved one. ART is very common as well as we use it to express our culture.
