Celebrate the Dia de Los Muertos

Today is a day to celebrate our ancestors....the Day of the Dead. There are various traditions surrounding this holiday in Mexico - from creating shrines with food offerings, to special skull candies and pastries. (You can read more about it here.)

I like that it isn't a sad holiday, it is one of remembrance and celebration. I created my own sort of shrine this morning, with pictures of some of my ancestors.

I included a photo of Angus, as his passing this year was a significant loss for me.
