is that like haloween?????

No I don't.

I might if I had any idea how you do such a thing. Can you enlighten us?
-
I don't, probably because I have no family buried where I live. It is a public holiday here and virtually everybody goes to the cemetery to lay flowers at the resting places of their deceased relatives. I think it's a wonderful custom, with so much more to recommend it than the antics of the previous evening.

no. I don't celebrate halloween either, or Christmas, or St. Nicolas day, or Epiphany, or Easter, or passover either.

Halloween means All Hallows Eve, which is the day before All Hallows (or Souls, or Saints) Day - 1st November. It seems very sad that so many people know of the silliness of Halloween, yet know nothing of its origin.

yes i especially love the mexican tradition of making alters. i have a permanent alter in a little window with tokens to those who have passed away. here in spain it is a national holiday.

Yes. In my country we do. Many people go to the cemeteries to pay their respects to the deceased. It's also an excuse to gather the family around. We eat a traditional dish called Fiambre. http://antiguadailyphoto.com/2006/11/01/guatemalan-cuisine-fiambre-slideshow/
