It’s the 5th of May, and whether you are learning Spanish or not, many of you may participate in a Cinco de Mayo celebration. Before I had a baby, this usually meant a few margaritas and some great Mexican food (we’re trying to keep Tali off the alcohol for a few more years so no margaritas for me this year).
One thing that I love about Cinco de Mayo, is that it is more of an American holiday than a Mexican one. Contrary to popular belief, it is not Mexican Independence Day. It is a celebration of the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Granted the French came back and occupied Mexico only a year later (they stayed for three years before withdrawing under pressure from the United States). But that’s not the point. The Battle at Puebla was significant because the Mexican army was outnumbered by the French 2 to 1. Yet they still won. So, I like to think of Cinco de Mayo as a celebration of the underdog being victorious in the face of a huge challenge. Even if you think you might lose, you gotta at least put up a fight.
But really, why I like Cinco de Mayo is that it is a true demonstration of how life is better because the world is becoming a smaller place. Americans have embraced this date as a chance to celebrate our Mexican brothers and sisters. And to that, I raise my virgin margarita.
