My entry in the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by The Cat on My Head!
Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and by people of Mexican ancestry. The multi-day holiday (October 31-November 2) focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars, honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these as gifts.
Colorful Day of the Dead statues can be easily found alongside Halloween decorations on store shelves, and earlier this fall Mommy excitedly came home with a festive cat statue to add to our holiday decor! When I gently reminded her what a pawsome giveaway this would make, she went back to the store and bought another one!
To enter, simply fill out the Rafflecopter below! This giveaway is open to everyone worldwide; deadline is midnight Eastern Time, November 6. Good luck!

Love the cat statue
ReplyDeleteWe are going to watch some scary movies at home.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cool figurine. I love your selfie too, Mudpie! Very Day of the Dead-ish!
ReplyDeleteWe'll be huddled up together avoiding noisy kids ringing the Palace bell, somehow they always seem to get past the Kraken! Now that is a FAB give away, the black looks beautiful in that mask, and painted with flowers. purrs ERin
ReplyDeleteOh, this statue is too cute! I love all Halloween decorations, but those involving kitties and the Day of the Dead are some of my faves. And you are so kind to share this with us!
ReplyDeleteThis Halloween will be spent like we always do (and love!), and that is watching spooky movies while waiting for kiddies to show up at our doorstep. Luckily, the TV and furbaby cuddle station (aka, couch) is a decent distance from the front door, and there are baby gates set up that this mom shuts behind her when trick-or-treaters show up. The baby gate is visible from the front door, though, so the candy-seeking kiddos usually have a few sets of eyes leering at them. I figure that just adds to the spooktacular festivities. Happy Sunday, Mudpie and Melissa! And happy (almost) Halloween!
Too cute!
ReplyDeleteMy mum loves that statue and is very happy to see that we can enter to try and win it. You are looking good decorated for the Day of the Dead for your selfie.
ReplyDeleteWe like this kitty statue! We'll be helping the mom hand out candy on Halloween.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool find. No Halloween for the cats and I this year, we just moved to a new house, things are still crazy.
ReplyDeletei love cats so u know i love the cat statue ,its so cool
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice statue, great idea for a giveaway.

You look great, Mudpie! And that statue is very cute.
ReplyDeleteWe have big plans since it is our favorite holiday.
ReplyDeleteNo plans
ReplyDeleteThe statue us so pretty and unique we don't have anything like this up North, as in Central Canada!
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually home on Halloween (my daughter and I attend our favorite anime convention - Youmocon in Detroit and it's usually held on Halloween weekend). With Halloween falling on a Monday this year, though, we'll be home. We'll be passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters, but otherwise have no plans. We have bought a couple of costumes for our dogs and cats. My kitten, Kotoha (who I found on July 6th when she was just two weeks old and had to be bottle fed) had spay surgery this past Monday so I have avoided putting any costumes on her. She should be okay to dress up on Monday. We don't dress my older cat, Moko, but my daughter's boy, Arata, has several new costumes, including a Pikachu one.
ReplyDeleteNice selfie, Mudpie! And that Dia de la Muerte figurine is really cool, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI have to go sit for 3 or 4 hours and have iron treatment then home to chili, a movie, and pass out candy!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWee luvss yur Hallow'eeny Selfie Mudpie!!

ReplyDeleteReally cool figurine ! What a pawsome giveaway ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteI think I saw a spooky Mudpie...but completely my color ;) We don't celebrate Helloween here in the Netherlands, although it is starting to get more famous this year, so probably we will celebrate it next year too, but for now, we will remember all our family and (furry)furriends that have left us to the other side too soon. The stature is very beautiful :) Pawkisses for a Happy Halloween :) <3
ReplyDeleteOur boys are planning on staying warm and safe within our house. They don't care for those noise kids who hammer on the door and yell trick or treat. Romeo and Ralphie also know Mommy and Daddy are happier when they don't have to worry about them getting outside and lost.
ReplyDeleteI adore that day of the dead kitty. What a fabulous giveaway! No special plans for the kitties this year, aside from extra snuggles, of course!
ReplyDeleteJean from Welcome to the Menagerie
What a beautiful figurine! We don't get trick or treaters, so we're having a quiet evening.
ReplyDeleteWe probably won't get any trick-or-treaters, unfortunately, but we're going to watch Great Pumpkin. Mudpie, your selfie is adorable!
ReplyDeleteNo plans here
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome statue. We'll cuddle and watch some scary movies.
ReplyDeleteYour selfie is soooo scarey, Mudpie! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteGus, Jaq, Pearl, and students
Nope, but we are dressing up our dog.
ReplyDeleteWe are staying in eating lasagna and watching Garfield
ReplyDeleteMy cats and I don't have any special Halloween plans this year.
ReplyDeleteWooooo...Mudpie you are scaring us...Great picture with the purple eyes...
ReplyDeleteWow Mudpie, are you behind that mask somewheres?
ReplyDeleteAll was furry quiet around here and in most neighborhoods - Lots of folks turn their lights off. seems like most folks are taking their kids to big events like our Zoo and churches and city sponsored events and our malls vs door to door.
Nope, we are going to stay indoors to avoid any nasty tricks!
