Discussion board Assignment

Think about the holidays, observances, or rituals that you and/or your family celebrate.  Name one.  What part of the year does it happen in?  What rituals do you take part in?  How do you dress?  What foods are most important for your celebration?  How do you decorate your home?  Why do you have these traditions?  Have you ever seen a Dia de los Muertos celebration or taken part in one?  If so, what was it like?  Why might this tradition be important for the people who celebrate it?
