thank you very much for sharing this! I live in Sicily, Italy, and we have a very similar tradition: Dead bring gifts to the children (and to adults as well), we eat fruitshaped marzipan and sugar dolls. In these days we go to the cemeteries and visit our dear dead. It's a real feast, and it's not scary at all like Halloween. Unfortunately our children wants Halloween because they're influenced by television, but our tradition is very beautiful and it's a pity it would gone lost.
