Default Day of the Dead

In our family, we celebrate Samhain on the 31st October. We do this by lighting a candle in the window for each of our loved ones that have passed, and sitting down to a meal that our most recently passed family member loved. We set them a place at the table as a mark of respect.

We dont eat more than normal, we dont drink more than normal, but take the time to remember and reflect upon that person and how they lived.
