Pacqui Micciahuitl, translated from the Nahuatl language, that is Feliz Dias de los Muertos in Espanol & Happy Days Of The Dead in English. Technically this starts on Halloween and in some native communities south of the border, most notably the Yucatec people of the Yucatan Peninsula, last for 3 days after tath (which they call in their language "hanal pixan"--Nov. 3). We extend the Halloween season to honor our ancestors, both immediate and ancient, in this house every year. And to commemorate it here, we play the movies of Mexico to accompany the whole affair. Hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween. Welcome to Days Of The Dead, welcoming the dead especially!
