Not all of Halloween’s focus is spooky. If you don’t celebrate it, the Day of the Dead may seem macabre, but it’s actually a joyous celebration. As much as I like macabre, you’d think I’d be disgusted, but I’m actually charmed by it. HalloweenHaunt.wordpress.com for shownotes, and you can tell us there how you celebrate the Day of the Dead.
Wikipedia has an entry about the Day of the Dead which covers many countries.

I took a year of Spanish and we learned about Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Pretty interesting holiday even though in class we didn’t really get the chance to do our own celebration. Still it was cool.
