Saffire Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 This is one of those awesome holidays I always forget about until it's here. I'm thinking Taco Bell tonight (the paragon of authentic Mexican cuisine!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when Mexico beat up France that's on May 5th. Margaritas were only $1.99 for a large, so that all that really matters. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck kottke Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Not so fast Simon Bolivar! A victory deserves celebration, and I'm glad for your success in Mexico on the 5th of May. All power to the people!;):sombrero::builder: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig-El Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I have a question Why the hell do american celebrate May 5th?????? it's not like I'm complaining and saying "that's part of our history not yours" but I don't really understand why you guys seem to care more up there than us. We just make parades and don't go to school :P but you party and drink. WHY? What did USA had to do with this? Or is it because of what texasluvsjonny says? cause half of us are there in south of USA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasluvsjonny Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Most of the places that celebrate it here have large Mexican population, and it's no so much a celebration of the event, but has become more of a celebration of Mexican culture, just as St Patrick's day celebrates Irish culture, Oktoberfest celebrates Germany culture, and so on. The battle certainly kept Napoleon's army out of the US, and General Zaragoza was actually born in what is now Texas, so I guess that is important, but let's face it, Americans will celebrate anything involving food and drinking. :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
