The Day of the Dead (Spanish: el Día de Muertos or el Día de los Muertos)is a holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1 and 2, though other days, such as October 31 or November 6, may be included depending on the locality. It is widely observed in Mexico, where it largely developed, and is also observed in other places, especially by people of Mexican heritage. (source: Wikipedia). In the small Mexican shops you can buy a lot of attributes that relate to this special day. However I doubt if I want this in my house whole year. :)
