A killer chihuahua??? Jeez, if you managed to make a chihuahua dangerous enough to scare 'em off, I dread to think what would happen if you got your hands on a ROTTWEILER!!!
It's not that I mind them coming round, and I love religious debates... In my case, what weirded me out was the fact that this woman came from Germany, was old enough to know all about the horrors of the concentration camps, and still considered the mass slaughter described in the Old Testament (of which we have no proof whatsoever, I might add), to be JUSTIFIABLE under the title, "ETHNIC CLEANSING". WTF????????? She was going on about how the Israelites were 'God's chosen people', and that therefore everyone who lived near them had to be wiped out to 'purify' humanity. I just got kinda pissy and pointed out that the Nazis talked the same way - seemed to touch a nerve...

Yes! Long it was and far it was but oooh such a good time! There are some (less than flattering) photos up on my facebook profile if you wanna check them out and one or two scenery shots to show my lovely country off. I still have slightly stiff calf muscles but they're eased enough for me to spin tomorrow. Got a cool race coming up on Sunday so I don't want to overdo anything there.

Ahhh...so your family still observes the holiday here? Weird thing is that once she immigrated to the US, my mom didn't celebrate it but observed Halloween instead (if at all). She would also tell me the same story of her brother eating the ofrendas over and over again.

In Guanajuato (where I spent a lot of time as a child and adult), you CANNOT disassociate the festival (as it IS a celebration of the life of the person rather than a mourning) with the fantastic art of José Guadalupe Posada. Notice how happy they are....reflects the celebration. I have my little shrine all set up.

It's basically a day of remembering relatives who have passed away and its a time to celebrate life (correct me if I'm wrong, Guids). Families in Mexico and most of Latin America make food for their dead relatives and place them at the altar or at their graves.
My mom told me on several occasions that she and her family would make the food and place them at the graves of their dead relatives. The next day, the food would be completely gone, and everyone thought the dead came back to life the night before to eat it all up. Later on she discovered that one of her brothers would sneak out and eat the food.

Very poignant post, geeds! Wonderful insight into a very misunderstood holiday. Its funny how other cultures view death and lost loved ones. The celebrations that most cultures have are proof (once again) that we Americans have so many hang ups... I blame the christians..... HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!! (Kidding!!

Well it would appear that we all ( or most ) made it through the fiendish evening and lived to see another first of November. NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!! Good Lord! Where did this year go? Simply amazing how quickly the months pass us by. And I must admit, this year has been one to remember. What a GREAT tour by the Priest and all the meet-ups we managed to put together and all the memories we have made...again!
Perhaps sitting here this early in the morning beside the fire puts me in a bit of a pensive mood? I don't know for sure but I find that I recall this year with great fondness, for I have seen many wonderful things this year and spent time with some special people. I look back over the posts and I see that so many of us have shared time with one another. Time. Our most precious of assets and greatest of gifts. And there were some that shared that precious gift with me. I cannot thank them enough.
As yet another year winds to an end, I find that I am once again so very grateful for the wonderful people of this Board. You guys make some of the terrible days much better and the good ones great. Thanks to all of you for another great year and lets be sure to do it all again come January!! |

It's basically a day of remembering relatives who have passed away and its a time to celebrate life (correct me if I'm wrong, Guids). Families in Mexico and most of Latin America make food for their dead relatives and place them at the altar or at their graves.
My mom told me on several occasions that she and her family would make the food and place them at the graves of their dead relatives. The next day, the food would be completely gone, and everyone thought the dead came back to life the night before to eat it all up. Later on she discovered that one of her brothers would sneak out and eat the food.
