WHAT IS CINCO DE MAYO

this is what we think of when we think of cinco de mayo
margaritas
tacos
mexican beer
eating
dancing
a good time to enjoy salsa and chips and a drink at happy hour

however
it means
may 5

in mexico it is celebrated at the city of puebla
its where mexicans held off a french attack on the city during the franco mexican war

apparently cinco de mayo isnt celebrated in mexico much just in the city of puebla

here its gotten all commercialized

i guess we celebrate it for ourselves to get some drinks and some good food and to be with friends and family

maybe
to celebrate the culture south of us and the culture of those people who live as our neighbors and friends here in the us

as a society we may not survive without that culture
thats
what it should really be about
