Happy Cinco de Mayo- Got Plans?

[bad14u]

Just wondering what everyone was doing for Cinco de Mayo. I am taking my gf to the Kenny Chesney concert tonight.....4th row on the floor and then to a little Mexican restaraunt afterwards. Kind of an early Mothers Day gift. Whatever you all have planned...PLEASE BE CAREFUL! I want to see everyone back here next week. I am taking tomorrow off so I will have a nice 3 day weekend.

Well, knowing my dad is a Mexican citizen, we're probably going to go to a Mexican restaurant for lunch and then even another for dinner.

I dont even know what the hell it is. I mean, I have heard about it but never knew what it was and never did anything special on that day.

The holiday that celebrates the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla, May 5th 1862.

"In the United States, the "Batalla de Puebla" came to be known as simply "5 de Mayo" and unfortunately, many people wrongly equate it with Mexican Independence which was on September 16, 1810, nearly a fifty year difference. Over, the years Cinco de Mayo has become very commercialized and many people see this holiday as a time for fun and dance. Oddly enough, Cinco de Mayo has become more of Chicano holiday than a Mexican one. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated on a much larger scale here in the United States than it is in Mexico. People of Mexican descent in the United States celebrate this significant day by having parades, mariachi music, folklorico dancing and other types of festive activities."
