  1. Day of the Dead is a significant tradition is fun for everyone because everyone wears costumes and trick-van. its in E.U. the festival is called Hallowen. But in Mexico things are different because they are remote in the customs of the natives: the offerings is also interesting to note that these are an important part of us culture.
    In hallowen appear in different characters such as Dracula, witches, devils, and all those people involved in the dark..
    thankk miss

  2. hi miss!!!

    Halloween or Halloween is a celebration of Celtic culture from taking place mainly in the U.S. on the night of Oct. 31.

    It was celebrated in Anglo-Saxon countries, mainly in Canada, USA, Ireland and the UK. But now celebrated in almost all Western countries with more or less present.

    Is told in legends and stories of witches ... horrible warts, flying broomsticks, black cats that roam ... to dark pacts with the Devil!

    They are often associated with evil.

    A vampire is a sinister creature that feeds on blood of living things to stay active.

    It is tragic that Mexico adopted a tradition that does not belong, from my point of view has been day to day copying stereotypes that do not belong to one of them is halloween this is the fault of all the Mexicans not to maintain our traditional Day of the Dead as in antiquity. =)

    The history of Halloween can be traced back 2,000 years. It was during these ancient times in Europe that the Celts celebrated the beginning of winter on the evening of October 31st.the history of Halloween was forever changed; November 1st became known as All Saints Day or All-Hallows.
    it is appropriate that ghosts are so often linked to contemporary celebrations. The tradition of trick-or-treating and costumes are a little less tied to the history of Halloween.

    It was celebrated in countries mainly in Canada, USA, Ireland and the UK. On Halloween are as Dracula, witches, demons, etc..

    To my mind this season is fun, but elsewhere, because in Mexico it is different because we have other ways which would be more attractive offerings, and these are dedicated to all our dead, our traditions are being lost and that is to adopt traditions that are not ours.

  6. Halloween is a party but a celebration already existed for almost 200 years ago. I k is a tradition over U. S. that of Mexico because here the dead are remembered.
    Although it is now more than dressing up and that's where witches and vampires that is believed to be when they leave.
    Referring to the video I think is something that tells of what this halloween, where he is and from where it exists.

    I think Existed for almost 200 years ago.

    The Halloween is a tradition Celts, they celebrated the beginning of winter on October 31st. they thought that day the dead roamed the earth.

    A vampire is an evil creature that feeds on blood of living thing and humans.

    My opinion on Vampires and the witches: they are evil creatures, and are used to frighten children.

    Do my opinion on the Halloween?
    Is very nice, however Mexico adopted this one tradition that does not belong here. This one is very fun; however our traditions are being lost.

    Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. Halloween can be traced back 2,000 years. It was during these ancient times in Europe that the Celts celebrated the beginning of winter on the evening of October 31st.
    The imagery of Halloween is derived from many sources, including national customs, works of Gothic and horror literature as Frankenstein and Dracula
    In this celebration mexico is different because the culture is different.
    The image is also diferante dracula asignificado both as a figure. The characteristics of dracula are terrifying and is related to evil and death. In mexico prefer other characters.
    in my opinion: Halloween is the U. S. a great party but not have to be like them because the meaning is different for us

  11. Hello, Miss.
    The history of Halloween can be traced back 2,000 years. It was during these ancient times in Europe that the Celts celebrated the beginning of winter on the evening of October 31st, because they believed think that day the dead roamed the earth.
    the vampires are a creature that drink blood from humans and the witches are people who made spells and magic.
    I believe that this tradition is linked with evil, and that some things really are hiding behind her.
    Also in Mexico has changed this tradition and is a tradition adquired of the USA

  14. Well, Halloween is a pagan festival, I think it was created by the Celt cuture, they celebrated in october 31st the beginning of winter, and in that day, the souls roamed in the earth, that´s why people used to wear costums and masks, because they wanted to confuse the spirits.

    Vampires are evil creatures that feeds by human blood, but I don´t think they exist.

    I don´t think we should celebrate Halloween here in Mexico, just because it isn´t a part of our real cuture. Nowadays, it´s just a consumerism day.

  16. Today in America it is traditional to celebrate the holiday by throwing a party in which the guests dress in costume.
    However, the tradition of trick-or-treating and costumes are a little less tied to the history of Halloween.

  18. The history of Halloween has 2,000 years. It was during these ancient times in Europe that the Celts celebrated the beginning of winter in the afternoon of October 31st.the Halloween history was changed forever, 1 November, became known as All Saints Day.
    it is desirable that the ghosts are so often linked to contemporary celebrations. The tradition of trick-or-treating and costumes are a bit less tied to the history of Halloween.
    my opinion of this tradition is that is a bit interesting and that through those 2000 years has changed a lot this celebration and that although it is not proper to several countries moved many masses and is now observed worldwide
