Hey! How are you?

💀Dia de los Muertos: Celebrating Life in the Memory of Loved Ones

Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is a vibrant and colorful Mexican tradition that has captivated hearts and minds worldwide💓. This unique and deeply spiritual celebration, taking place on November 1st and 2nd, but now you can find new dates like the day of pets which is on October 27th, This time is for families and communities to come together, honor their departed loved ones, and celebrate the circle of life. 

In this post, we'll explore the beauty and significance of Dia de los Muertos💀

Dia de los Muertos has its roots in ancient Mesoamerican cultures, primarily the Aztec, Maya, and Nahua civilizations. The tradition combines indigenous beliefs with elements of Catholicism brought to the Americas by Spanish colonizers. It's a fusion of both worlds, and it reflects a profound respect for the dead.

The Ofrendas🍊

The ofrendas, or altars,  are created in homes and cemeteries. These colorful, ornate displays are laden with offerings of the deceased's favorite foods, drinks, and mementos. The idea is to welcome the spirits back to the world of the living, where they can partake in the pleasures they enjoyed in life💓.

The Marigold Path🍂

Cempasuchil petals are scattered on paths and used to decorate ofrendas. These vibrant flowers are believed to guide the spirits of the departed, helping them find their way back to their loved ones during the Dia de los Muertos festivities.

Calaveras and Calacas💀

Calaveras, or skulls, are a prominent symbol of Dia de los Muertos. These can be made of sugar, chocolate, or crafted from various materials. They are often inscribed with the names of the living and given as gifts to represent the ongoing cycle of life. Calacas, which are whimsical and often humorous skeleton figurines, are another key element in the celebrations.

The Sugar Skulls💀

Sugar skulls, or "calaveras de azúcar," are intricately decorated candies that have become an iconic image of Dia de los Muertos. They are often personalized with the names of deceased family members and used as offerings on ofrendas.

La Catrina

La Catrina, a fashionable female skeleton, has become the elegant and whimsical face of Dia de los Muertos. She is a reminder that death is an inevitable part of life and that we should embrace it with grace and humor.

Community and Connection

One of the most beautiful aspects of Dia de los Muertos is how it brings communities and families together. It's a time to share stories, cherish memories, and express gratitude for the time spent with those who have passed.

Dia de los Muertos is a rich and culturally significant celebration that reminds us that death is not the end but a continuation of the journey. It encourages us to cherish our loved ones, both living and departed, and to celebrate the intricate tapestry of life and death that binds us all. As we honor this tradition, let's remember the beauty of remembering and the joy of celebrating the lives of those who came before us.

Halloween and día de muertos

Happy Halloween🎃, dear readers!

Today, as we embrace the spooky and fun traditions of Halloween, we'd like to share a little piece of our cultural heritage. You see, we're proud to be Mexican, and alongside Halloween, we also celebrate "Día de Muertos"💀 - the Day of the Dead.

So lets celebrate both!!💀🎃💓

Día de Muertos is a vibrant and heartfelt Mexican holiday that honors and remembers our dearly departed loved ones. It's a time when we create colorful ofrendas (altars), light candles, and decorate sugar skulls to pay tribute to those who have left this world. It's a beautiful blend of tradition, love, and remembrance, and for 3 years I have had someone very special whom I honor and who is my number one on my altar. (In the next post I will try to put pictures of both celebrations)

But in the meantime,  these pictures are from Google

So, as we put on our costumes and carve pumpkins

for Halloween, we also prepare to honor our ancestors and celebrate the cycle of life and death in a uniquely Mexican way. It's a special time for reflection, connection, and sharing stories of those we hold close to our hearts.

We hope you enjoy this special blend of traditions and, no matter how you're celebrating today, may it be filled with joy, love, and a touch of magic!

Autumn's Splendor: A Canadian Thanksgiving Adventure in Mont Tremblant

Happy Thanksgiving dear lectores!

This weekend, I embarked on a memorable journey to Mont Tremblant, a magic place that embodies the essence of the fall season. Surrounded by close friends and family, we celebrated the Canadian Thanksgiving!

First of all... The Canadian Thanksgiving is on the second Monday in October, is a cherished occasion to express gratitude and share a feast with loved ones. As we gathered with family and friends in Mont Tremblant, we couldn't make any dish  but we share time together 💓

The transformation of the Canadian landscape during autumn is a true spectacle. Trees shed their leaves, painting the terrain in shades of crimson, orange, and gold🍁

There's something magical about autumn's colors that evokes a sense of warmth and nostalgia.

Everyone talks about Mont Tremblant, but the village is a perfect blend of alpine charm, vibrant shops, and cozy restaurants. Our day was spent exploring the quaint streets, savoring delicious meals, taking pictures and shopping for souvenirs.

One of the highlights of our trip was taking the scenic gondola ride to the summit. From there, we marveled at the vast tapestry of colors that stretched as far as the eye could see. 

The view was awe-inspiring and served as a reminder of the immense beauty of the natural world😍.

When I see these hummingbirds I remember all  I remembered all those who are with me from other places 💞

Sooooooo, I want to thank for the autumn colors, the warmth of loved ones, for your company dear family and friends, for celebrate together, I'm going to remember my first thanksgiving in a very special place of my heart.

Thanks and see you soon!
