Guess that in this globalised world, the big players can influence culturally everywhere. I don't mind the festivities themselves, specially when you are on said countries and want to celebrate them locally. The only issue I see if the celebrations start conflicting with each other, I can see why some people would reject the foreign holidays as they hold their own in high regards.

November first and second are the same days we honor our dead here in Mexico as well. I have always find it curious that many of these celebrations fall in very similar dates even when they were originated in very distant places thousands of years ago. |
All Saints' Day / Día de Todos los Santos on the 1st of November is what is traditionally celebrated in Spain to honour the dead.
