Ole!
Cinco de Mayo was originally a Mexican American holiday. First celebrated by the Mexican community in California after California became a US state. I enjoy it! Cinco de Mayo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_Mayo
Except maybe to him.

We are having a luncheon in our Senior's Community Center tomorrow .... always a fun time.
.... and all over town (Houston), there will be Mariachi bands playing in Mexican restaurants .... which is fairly normal almost everyday.

Cinco de Mayo is totally an excuse to drink margaritas and have Mexican food and has little or nothing to do with some obscure battle. And I am totally ok with that.

I was raised in CA and it was a big deal there. We never celebrated, but it was fun to observe the festivities.
(Dia de Los Muertos is another wonderful, beautiful holiday, which we do celebrate).

What kind of cheese isn't yours?
(My favorite silly joke that still makes me giggle).

I do my best to celebrate most any holiday, why not?
I was in Mexico once for Dia de Los Muertos, the graveyard decorations were impressive.

Well, I'm jealous. That must have been amazing.
I don't want to derail this wonderful thread, but yeah, Dia de los Muertos is a beautiful holiday. We only started celebrating about five years ago, but I do wish we'd started sooner.
Have you seen the Pixar movie, "Coco?" I've just recently watched that and it was really sweet.
