The Day of The Dead and My Birthday.
I want to tell you guys that my birthday is tomorrow. I'll turn 16, and I can't wait to that.
I know that my family love me, but they won't celebrate my birthday tomorrow,_because on the 1st and 2nd of November catholics celebrate the Day of The Dead. In the Netherlands we definitely don't celebrate it like the people in Mexico do it. Believe me it's nothing like that. We are sad that those people died instead of being happy that they were once alive. I think that the way people celebrate it in Mexico is way better, but of course that's my opinion. Everybody should celebrate it in their own way.
That's why I celebrate my birthday on the 3rd of November instead of the 2nd, when I was actually born. I'm okay with it, now but when I was younger I hated_that people were so sad on my birthday. I wanted them to be happy and celebrate my birthday, but I'm 15 now and I'll celebrate the Day of The Dead, and not my birthday. I'm realy happy that I was born on this day, because I feel like my grandma and my great grandma are celebrating my birthday, too. It may sound a bit childish, and it probably is,_but I don't care.
My family believes that on the Day of The Dead the departed come back to Earth. If that is true and my grandma and great grandma are on this Earth tomorrow I'm sure they'll think about me too, and I'll think about how sweet they were to me. I'm happy that I visited them realy often when they were still alive. That's why tomorrow I'll celebrate the fact that they once lived; and I won't be sad, but_happy. Regards!! :D And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :D
