LOL, seriously! Do you wait for the last possible moment! I'm afraid that I didn't quite get to you in time for the Steem-Bounty, I will have to be a bit better on the ball next time (or you could give me a half day notice!).
The only things that I really know about the Festival of the Day of the Dead, is what I had learnt from playing Grim Fandango! However, I do think it is nice to have a national tradition of honouring the dead. We don't really have that in either country that I have some affiliation to (Australia and Netherlands), but when I am in my home town in Australia, I always visit and pay homage to ancestors in line with my Chinese heritage...
