Halloween

Sorry! The kids on our street are awesome & kinda look forward to their Halloween/ Dia de Muertos treats. Always have the treats with me, even if I see them 3/4 times in 10 minutes. How hard is that?! the smiles...omg!!!

I know you mean well, but there is a lot of resentment against folks from other places imposing their culture on what little remains of our increasingly diluted and disappearing local culture. Halloween is mostly a marketing ploy in most Anglo countries where it is observed. In contrast, Día de Muertos is a solemn event. Unfortunately the marketing ploy has taken root here mostly from foreigners and Mexicans from Mexico City where much U.S. culture is imitated thanks to mass media marketing and the presence of many U.S. corporate chain businesses.

Lots of locals frown on this lack of respect towards local culture, and unfortunately it foments animosity towards outsiders, something I would hope no one would knowingly contribute to.
