Sugar Skulls

Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, is a Mexican holiday for remembering the dead that's celebrated November 1st and 2nd. People make altars with flowers, photos, favorite foods and drinks of the deceased, and such. The purpose is to entice the souls for a visit. At work Karith made sugar skulls and I got to decorate some. Sugar skulls are used to especially attract the departed children, but others as well. They certainly attract me! Love the colorfulness!
