The Day of the Dead is a three-day celebration to honor the dead. I wrote about it --and the sugar skulls we see everywhere this time of year-- in a blog post a couple years ago, right HERE. Just in case you want to know a little bit about it. You do, right? But today, I'm sharing some of the . . .
