When your friends and family are thinking about you, do you want them to feel all gloomy and bummed out?
Every year when November rolls around, Latin American communities kick off Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, to honor the spirits of the deceased by living life to the fullest. Of course, those of us who are still living don't get to sleep for a year after the party ends like the dead do (someone's gotta pay those bills, after all), but you can still have tons of spooky fun dressing like them! Women's Day of the Dead Costume And when it's all over, the souls go back to resting until it's time to do it all again the next November. Skulls and bones can be found everywhere, from the macabre makeup and outfits, to the dazzlingly delicious sugar skulls.
