¡Buenas noches, mi hermanos y hermanas de Himynamistan!
As we enter the season of the Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos, let us take some time from our busy days to remember those who have passed on from mortality. Let us remember them with solemn observances, yes, but let us also not forget to remember them in songs and festivities. We all know the dead watch over us and they want us to enjoy the lives we have, to live them to the fullest. Let us therefore honor the dead with our lives and give them a great show!
We salute our fellow nations of Nueva Vida and invite them to participate in cultural exchanges with us during this wonderful time of year. Let the luchadores enmascaderos fight in the rings! Let the folklorico troupes dance and sing all night! Let all the campesinos take a holiday and have a grand fiesta, worthy of honoring all our beloved ancestors!
Yes, this is a season of the thousands, to honor the dead in their multitudes. Let a thousand lucha libre matches honor the fallen warriors. Let a thousand canciones honor the deceased musicians. Let a thousand murals honor the artists no longer with us. And, above all, a thousand embraces for the loved ones that no longer walk with us.
Take a stroll in the park this Sunday and let the cool air blow over your memories. Enjoy a churro y chocolate in a cafe to soothe your soul. Read a great book of ancient Nahuatl poetry to find words of comfort. This is the time of year for all these things, to be done with joy and respect.
To all the great people of Himynamistan, let us also remember to lay wreaths at the graves and statues of the fallen soldiers, who gave their lives for the service of our proud nation. They fought and died that we might smile in freedom today. Remember them with love and honor, as you would your own family, for they are part of the family of the nation.
May you all have a wonderful season in and around Dia de los Muertos, and may your memories of the departed be pleasant and comforting.
Gracias y buenas noches.
