During this time, spirits are believed to return to their homes to visit with family and friends. In preparation for this day, both children and adults spend weeks preparing special foods, creating altars in their homes, and decorating grave sites. Surround it with paper flowers, votive candles, and photos of deceased relatives. Burn incense to welcome the spirits. Arrange whimsical skeleton figurines on your altar or fireplace mantle, or hang Halloween skeletons around the party room.
Activities Have guests bring symbols or photos of the dead and build an altar together.
Set a table against a wall. Add flower petals and garlands, a glass of water, candles, and incense. Place photos of the dead on the altar, along with any food or drinks they enjoyed while they were alive.
