Tomorrow is the day of the dead

we're headed off to the cemetary to clean the place up and put flowers and candles there.

Presumably the minute we leave, the kids nearby will steal them and resell them to other folks, but never mind.

We're going today, because tomorrow it will be crowded with a million folks, and we wouldn't be able to drive all the way into the cemetery to the grave due to crowds.
Everyone will visit, clean up the gravesites, decorate the graves with candles and flowers. There will also be plenty of vendors selling candles, food, beer and toys for the bored kids to play with.

Heck, why not? The dead we are honoring know and love us, and are watching down from heaven. And it's not the staid harp playing heaven but Catholic heaven:
