Mexico celebrates the Days of the Dead (Días de los Muertos) on the Christian holidays All Saints' Day (November 1) and All Souls' Day (November 2) instead of Halloween.

Mexicans believe that the spirits of the dead return to enjoy a visit with their friends and relatives during this time. Although it may seem morbid, the holiday is festive. People visit cemeteries with candles and flowers. Children even enjoy candy shaped like skulls, coffins and hearses. Many dress up like ghosts and ghouls and parade through towns.
