It has been a celebration held in Mexico for thousands of years; when the Spanish conquered Mexico in the 16th century, they made a mix of Catholic and native beliefs, thus creating the Day of the Dead. This is known as cultural syncretism.

Just like 'everyone' in the US celebrates Halloween: some do; some others don't. It is a matter of personal preference.
