Despite its name, Día de los Muertos is not a depressing
or morbid holiday. People go to cemeteries to clean the gravesites
of loved ones and reminisce. They build altars in honor of the
departed, and put food and flowers (usually the symbolic marigold)
on them. Skeleton balloons and candies are very popular.
