I love the Day of the Dead. It's a lovely, colorful, meaningful and magic celebration, and while I don't particularly believe the dead come back for the day, it's good to have a day to remember them, and to feel close to them. There's something nice about laying food out for them, and believing that the next day, when one eats it, they've sucked the flavor away. OR, it could sound morbid, but us Mexicans have always been fascinated by death.
So here's a quick drawing to celebrate it a bit, considering I haven't been to a cemetery today, or that I tried to buy cempazuchitl flowers and my mother dearest refused (thanks, mom.) Every year I say I'll put up another Death Shrine and every year I forget. ;____; I loved doing those when we had contests in school. SIGH.
AND NOW I MUST GO AND STUFF MYSELF WITH DEATH BREAD. OM NOM NOM.
