A Dead Man for Christmas.

This fine chap was a Christmas present from me to her.

Hand made in Mexico.

Unfortunately his head had fallen off whilst he was inside my gift wrapping.

However I don't think that's a worry when you're already dead!

Spent some time on Boxing Day making the dead man properly undead again.

He is probably a statue for the Mexican Day of the Dead festival on November 1st and 2nd where the people remember and pray for family and friends who have died. None of your dressing in black morbid stuff here, it's a celebration in bold and vivid colours with plenty of fun skeleton characters like this everywhere!

He is in fact a groom from a wedding. Maybe I'll treat her to the Skeleton Bride next Christmas!
