Several years ago, a friend and I started a super fun tradition of celebrating a Día de los Muertos Party to decidedly reclaim Halloween, AKA, All Hallow's Eve, for the beautiful Catholic tradition that it is. I know the Day of the Dead is not on Halloween, but after watching my kids go crazy for witch movies and seeing their little brains turn with curious excitement over magical cards and Ouija Boards and all sorts of occult references and practices (which so overtly make their way into secular, mainstream kids TV) I decided that enough was enough! In my home at least, something had to be done to bring faith and beauty back into this time of year, to strategically divert their attention from the message the world is clamoring at them. I wanted to focus on faith and tradition, but I didn't want to take the fun and mystery out of the month of October. *CLICK TO READ MORE*
