By Jewel Grace — October 29, 2019 — I like the Day of the Dead, a Mexican-based festival honoring the ancestors with music, dance, and fancy altars. I used to attend the festival at U of P Archaeological Museum. There, we made sugar skulls (and ate them), listened and saw music and dancing, All Souls Day style. There was this vendors table from which I have purchased a backpack, a mobile, and lots of earrings.
I’m skipping the festival this year. I have plenty of jewelry and a vivid memory of the festivities.
My house is decorated in Day of the Dead signs and decor, as well as a pumpkin on the door and a skeleton on the stairs. Even though I have no children, I enjoy Day of the Dead and Halloween as well. Maybe I’ll prepare a festive dinner. Anyone game?
