daisy Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 November is fast approaching and this another Filipino culture and tradition that is uniquely Filipino. Family reunions at the graveyards. I can still remember staying and sleeping in the cemetery with the rest of the family every November 1. I am surely glad that nowadays it just became a simple graveyard visitations for me and my kids. Still some members of our clan practiced it. :crack-up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of us would not feel comfortable sleeping in a cemetery although I intend to make it my final resting place :welcome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid I love it but when I outgrow it I don't even allow my own children to experience it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
