The Thirteen Nights of Halloween (6th Night)

On the sixth night of Halloween

A grisly ghoul gave to me

Six calaveras

Five skel-e-tons!

Four shrunken heads,

Three ravens rocking,

Two bats a flyin',

and a rat that's extremely snarly...

I don't know if this actually goes with your calaveras, but it's interesting- last night at the grocery store they were selling cascarones, the blown out eggs full of confetti. Instead of the usual Easter pastels, these were stuffed with orange and black confetti. Maybe they've been around for Day of the Dead in other years but I never saw them before!

Annie: I've never seen them before either. I'll have to ask Katherine (from the lab) about them - she has a Day of the Dead party each year and knows quite a bit about the history behind it. Fun though!
