Are you celebrating Cinco de Mayo?

Ok I have a little to say on this particular topic.

First of all where I live its friggin 5 de Mayo all bloody year so yeah I am a little sick of it all.

2ndly show me where we celebrate the holidays of some other country?? Lets start with our immediate neighbors to the north.  What about their holiday Victoria Day?  Last I heard, I had never heard of it.  What about Aussie/New Zealand and their ANZAC holiday.  Again nope don't think so, never heard of it until I married one of those blokies.

Oh and how about the UK and their holidays?  This country was founded by a bunch of UKers, you would think that as tribute to that we would have something that requires everyone to take a day off work, get stinking drunk, BBQ (read burn, due to the amount of alcohol in the cooks system) food, eat and be merry.

Nope this silly 5 of May holiday is an assault on my loyalties as an American.  I would, however be up to celebrating something like the Mexican American war and our victory.  Now that is a war I can get into.
