Depends on the part of Mexico. Even in areas where the second day is "officially" labeled Day of the Dead, November 1st still contains altars and offerings, just generally more geared towards deceased children.

In the right part of the country, of course. Local variation!

@Freezair For A Limited Time: Starts on the first, but the official celebration date is November 2, that's when people set the altars ready and visit the cemetary to see their dead loved ones.
Edit: Pagetopper! Gotta celebrate somehow... uh! Let's watch this video of a kitty attacking his nom machine.
