The valuable breed is also said to be able to travel between the Land of the Dead and the Land of the Living, which is exactly what Dante does in Coco by journeying with Miguel.

As a little girl, I learned a lot about my Mexican heritage. I even joined my parents in their dance group and still involved in it today. Over the years it’s been so fun, and it helped me learn a lot about different Mexican counties. Who would've thought that I would learn so much just by dancing. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s the truth. Also being a little girl I learned about “Day Of The Dead” which in Spanish is called “dia de los muertos” which is a two day celebration. The day’s in which this takes place is September 1 and 2nd. September 1st we honor the children and September 2nd we honor the adults.

My family ritual is that we celebrate Dia de Los Tres Reyes Magos, translating to the Epiphany in English, every year either by ourselves or with family friends. We celebrate the Three Kings arriving to visit the baby Jesus and present gifts to him. To me, this holiday is better than Christmas. Why? The night before the holiday, I put my shoe out in a visible area and sometimes even put a bowl of oatmeal next to it. On the day of the holiday, I wake up to my shoe overflowing with presents and all the oatmeal gone. The belief behind this is that the Three Kings visited my house and left presents. The oatmeal was for the camels because I cared about the King’s camels getting enough food to travel and leave presents for everyone as they did for

A way that I joined in celebration of Cinco de Mayo with the Hispanic community was I dressed for the occasion. I wore green, white and red clothing and accessories which symbolized the Mexican flag. I would also partake in hitting a “piñata”, which is a decorated figure usually an animal that contains toys and candy, piñatas are suspended from a height and broke open by blindfolded children as part of a celebration.
