Well, about me, my father is half Mexicano and half Peruvian so I have heard a lot about "El Dia de los
meurtos". My family does not celebrate it though, not just because we live in the states (hispanic people that live
here still celebrate it) but because we are Jehovah's Witnesses. We celebrate the memorial of Jesus Christ and
that's pretty much it. I don't know if you know much about my religion but we don't celebrate anything,
including our birthdays, but that. Don't get me wrong, we are not a sad people. We have parties very often and give
gifts to eachother because we want to and not just because they are graduating or because it is their birthday. We do it
out of love. When I took that quiz on why am I sad, that result was before I actually dedicated my life as one of
Jehovah's Witnesses. So now that I have, I am very happy, surrounded by people that know me by name and who love
me. But back to the whole death thing, we are sad when someone we love dies, but we have a hope that we will see them
again, not in heaven but here on earth in a paradise that will soon take place. So my answer is no, there is Memorial
Day for the states but for my family, no. We take that hope and the memoried of the person with us and remember them by
helping out the family and taking care of their needs. Wow! I wrote a lot! :) Guess I'll talk to ya later, bye!
