Social They Giving My Kid Day of the Dead

[SummerStriker]

I have a kid starting Kindergarten. Her preschool, various adults, the Disney movie, "Coco," and another preschool before this one have all conspired together to make her excited for Day of the Dead. She has been making skulls and putting them in the hallway, and wanted to watch Coco again tonight. We had to talk about Halloween, Day of the Dead, and where people go when they die. Heaven. Jesus. And so on for like 15 minutes tonight.

So now I'm sitting here reading about how do gringos celebrate Day of the Dead correctly.

Anyone else deal with this?

Introduce her to Cannibal Corpse.



You may have to have uncomfortable conversations about "what's a 'corpsegrinder'" or "what does 'purtrefaction' mean," but it's best to get these conversations out of the way early.

She's terrified of Taylor Swift zombie so I don't think that would go over well.

F'n unreal, celebration of death at 1st intro to education.

At least they didn't start with a request to change "gender"... yet.

SMDH.

yeah, when I was a kid, there was a push to make it a "harvest" festival. Now they are like, "make a shrine to mamaw."

So I surmise that Entrails Ripped From A Virgin's Cunt is out of the question. Sigh.

Put a table out with pics of friends and family who have passed away and leave some food out for them. It's a day to remember loved ones who have passed away. It's nothing like Halloween.

dress her like a princess or something and take her around getting candy and let her know how we do it here in America.

The spirit of the festivity is to remember and show love to those who have passed to the other side and to focus on the joy of family both living and the souls of the discarnate, emphasizing the humorous moments.
Sugar skulls and traditional bread are gifted and shared, and another lesser known custom is to write mock satirical epitaphs dedicated to family and friends, that sort of rhyme, like a joke poetic short eulogy lol. My grandma would write those for us but she’d have the reaper fail to get his hands on us in the end.

You should sit down with her and watch the movie before she torrents it or something and watches on her own
