cinco de mayo...always makes me happy that the US is not the sole country to call a holiday by the date.  i mean, we have Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day...you get the idea.  and then there is July 4th (i know some people call it independence day, but i've yet to meet them.)  so to know that Mexico also does it-well, it only makes me thankful that we're not the only odd ones in the world. 

what if we were to run down the streets proclaiming "CINCO DE DICIEMBRE!!!"  no hate mail, please.  just think about it.  cinco de mayo is a great day!  as is, dos de mayo cuz it's my niece's bday :)
