It's Ascension Thursday here, fwan, and Father's Day.Originally Posted by fwan

On May 5, 1862 the Mexicans beat the French army at the Battle of Puebla. Their victory was short-lived, though - the French came back, won and installed Maximilian as Emperor of Mexico.Originally Posted by rosiemac

Rigel,
1.-I've heard that Cinco de Mayo, or the defeat of the French occupation forces, isn't that big of a celebration in Mexico? Is that right?
2.-I heard that actually the September 16th celebration of the defeat of Spanish occupation forces is bigger?
Me? I'm working and staying at home. Around here, if you don't have a Mexican flag on your car it's just better not to even leave your house. Sad how some bad elements have really soured this day/weekend for a whole lot of the Denver-Metro area.

In Mexico, it is a more subdued holiday. In the Southwestern US, its an excuse to party and for Corona to sell lots of beer. Think of it as a Mexican St. Patrick's Day.
