Somehow it doesn't have the same ring as Cinco de Mayo. One sounds like a great celebration, and the other like a crazy person telling you what day it is. Amazing how a different language can make its sound so much more cool.
For those of you who might not know, Cinco de Mayo is the date the Mexican army defeated the French. (Not Mexico's Independence Day.)
To make this holiday even more absurd....its not even really celebrated in Mexico (at least not nationally-there are some regional little parties). Its mostly celebrated here in the US.
All that aside....Happy Cinco de Mayo! Just like St. Patrick's Day (where everyone is Irish), everyone is Mexican today. So grab a taco, and a margarita the size of your head, because I certainly will. Its time to Fiesta!
