So cosmopolitan of me... on the Day of the Dead

The "dia de los muertos" is something that is cellebrated in Mexico on November the 1st (all saints day) and 2nd (all souls day), to remember loved ones that passed away.
Since it is a celebration, people give food, tequilla, music to the dead and eat/drink/dance themselves, either at their homes or cemeteries.
The food and drink (and even cigars...) are placed on an altar, which also includes the traditional "pan de muerto" or "dead man's bread".

This day can be seen as a mix between the catholic tradition (all saints day) with the indigenous people's tradition in a way that instead of making it a day of pain and suffering, it turns out to be a celebration of life.

We celebrated it by drinking mexican beer and eating pan de muerto.
I nice day indeed!
