I haven't worked out what to do with Halloween. We never celebrated it as a kitsch holiday with bowls of treats and witches hats - we still don't. And I haven't worked out any rituals for this date. Possibly because I'm from a Protestant tradition that seems to be about stiff upper lip and glossing over death. My church have never really known what to do with me, since Emma died. I LOVE, love all the rituals you have created for Dia de los Muertos but Idon't have the same connection to this date.
Or possibly because, coming just two weeks after her birthday, I'm usually too wrung out to cope with the day.
