We sell buckets for Halloween, but most people don't keep sweets in the house. Everyone ignores their doors being knocked.
Bonfire night is MAJORLY popular here, so I'm looking forward to that. it's the first year I can buy fireworks!

In Mexico celebrate" día de todos los santos", no like halloween; but it´s interesting too. In merida, it´s similar at the D.F ( mexico, distrito federal), style of put the altar for the people who past away, in yucatán are have " Hanal Pixan" ( in maya lenguaje); what mind : " Comida de difuntos"; in the altar, put food for the familiars, parents, and people of our family who past away, for pray for them, and encounter your way. This days celebrate : 1 and 2 of november month. The day two of november is´t the most important of two days because it´s day of all saints ( es el dia de todos los santos y es el mas importantes de los 2 días). After the ofered this food, you can eat, after your pray for them.

Rirumo, tell me that of the skulls of sugar.

Here in Spain alone we celebrate November 1 I gave of All the Saints, that I gave alone recalls the flowers carrying them dead people al cemetery.

When was small my mother told me that the I gave 2 of November was the I Gave of the Souls and that the bed should make therefore the souls descended of the sky to be gone to bed in her.

Rirumo, por favor, cuenteme eso de las calaveras de azucar.
Aqui en España solo celebramos el 1 de Noviembre dia de Todos los Santos, ese dia solo se recuerda a las personas fallecidas llevandoles flores al cementerio.
Cuando era pequeña mi madre me decia que el dia 2 de Noviembre era el Dia de las Animas y que debia hacer la cama pues las animas bajaban del cielo para acostarse en ella.

Pues mira aqui es similar: lo de las calaveras de azucar es una tradición del centro de la república ( de D.F); representan a la muerte, por lo que se, puesto que aquí en Yucatán, se lleva de manera distinta el altar de muertos( no se ponen calaveritas de azucar); en su lugar se ponen otro tipo de dulces que le gustaba comer al difunto; aquí se tiene la tradición de celebrar ambos días ( el 1 y 2 de noviembre), puesto que el día primero es de los niños ( se pone altar a los niños); y el día 2 es de los adultos que es el " dia de los fieles difuntos". En cuanto a lo de las animas se dice que hay que tener todo en orden, puesto que las ánimas vienen a visitarnos "no a trabajar"; hay que tener todo limpio pues bajan ( como tu dices) a visitarnos. Si tienes otra pregunta dime, y con gusto te la explico.En toda la república mexicana hay distintas formas de poner el altar.

que interesente.....
Jajaja, en lo de las ánimas tienes razón, por eso yo debía tener mi cama hecha, lastima que todas esas costumbres en España poco a poco se van perdiendo.

Por cierto, acuerdate de traducir lo que digas en Castellano, que si no se enfadan

That interest you. .... Jajaja, in that business about the souls you are right, therefore I should have my done bed, injures that all those customs in Spain little by little go losing.

Certainly, you agree you to translate what to say in Spaniard, that if themselves they are not annoyed: wink:

jajajajajja, gracias, tratare pero es que yo lo traduzco solita y me da un buen de trabajo jjajajajajja.

jajajjaja thanks, I try, but im traslate alone and its a little bit dificulty.jaja

;but it´s true the tradicion got losing a little, but try keepet in Mexico and Yucatán.
