Día de los Muertos is a tradition-filled multi-day holiday that is celebrated during October 31 (Al Hallows Eve), November 1 (All Saints Day), and November 2 (All Souls Day) in México and other Latin American countries. Invitations in the form of altars are
made by family members so that the spirits of loved ones who have passed will come back to visit their families. According to the tradition, children who have passed and are referred to as <i>angelitos</i> (little angels) and they come to visit their families
on October 31. The adult spirits are said to visit on November 1<sup>st</sup> and on November 2, the last day, families attend cemeteries to clean and decorate the graves and tombs of their ancestors, and to celebrate their lives. <o:p></o:p></p>

During these days, people write <i>Calavera</i> Poems. The <i>Calavera</i> Poems are fun and humorous rhyming poems that eulogize and make fun of the living. The poems are traditionally written for politicians, teachers, friends, or anybody famous. These poems
are meant to be playful and funny. You can see examples and steps for creating your own <i>calavera</i> poem on these websites:<o:p></o:p></p>
