One of my favorite holidays is Day of the Dead. It's November 2nd and it's kind of like Halloween but it's not. So Day of the Dead is to celebrate those that passed away and it's also a way to celebrate life. We remember those that are not here anymore with us and we make altars and we give like offerings to them. Well, it's like a belief that we give them offerings and we put like things that remind us like of our grandfathers or persons that passed away. We put like pictures of them, clothes that they usually wear, food that they love to eat and typical things like pan de muerto, hot chocolate and all that kind of stuff. And it's really amazing to be able to celebrate that in Day of the Dead.

One of my favorite holidays of course is Dia de Muertos, Day of Death, so depends where you go. So I served as a missionary in Tampico but in that moment when I was that holiday so I was serving in Tanto Yuca, Veracruz so it's crazy it's like a huge party in all the town so they they wear like different costumes every every day like going to to dancing house by house trying to get some money but that is one of my favorite and well also in Mexico City we have like a match from Halloween and Dia de Muertos so that's one of my favorites and also I think Christmas and Dia de Reyes is like a good combination.

Cinco de Mayo, a lot of people thought it was the Mexican Independence, which was funny. It doesn't have to do anything with it. It's actually the Battle of Puebla, which was a war between Mexico and France. And a lot of people still argue that it was the Mexican Independence, which actually the correct date is September the 16th.
