the az law what you think

My niece married a LEGAL Mexican immigrant a few years ago. She said they were going to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I don't know what all was invloved but I didn't get the idea it had been Americanized. But maybe that's because Emilio has been Americanized.

As far as Cino de Mayo is concerned, its not celebrated throughout the country. But, the US has "Americanized" it like it does with every other culture. Its turned into another day of drinking, eating and making a fool of yourself when drunk. Kinda like with St. Patricks Day.

If you wish to read up on it here's a few sites for ya:

We're not picking on Cinco de Mayo. That's what we do with every holiday.
