Cinco De Mayo!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a Mexican edition of The Oz Files. So today is Cinco De Mayo and Leah thought it would be good to be informative and thought provoking and talk about Cinco De Mayo and why Americans celebrate it even though it's a Mexican Holiday? So we as Americans think that Cinco De Mayo is the Spanish Independence day right! Um apparently that is not what it is and I was shocked and amazed as all of you are. So let's break it down a bit shall we? Cinco De Mayo is a regional holiday primarily celebrated in the state of Pueblo. With limited recognition in other parts of Mexico. The holiday commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the battle of Pueblo on May 5,1962 my mom was 1 years old a the time oh yes! Oh excuse me that is 1862 so she wasn't born yet. Under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin say that 3 times fast. The outnumbered Mexicans defeated a much better-equipped French army that had not been defeated in almost 50 years. Was flannel back around then probably! Cinco De Mayo isn't an obligatory federal holiday in Mexico, but rather a holiday that can be observed voluntarily. While Cinco De Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. A common misconception in the United States is that Cinco De Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day, which actually which is September 16th (dieciséis de septiembre in Spanish), the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico. I hope you all have gained some brain cells if not well you probably are drunk reading this. So now it is time for me to tell you all why I think Americans celebrate Cinco De Mayo. I honestly have never celebrated Cinco De Mayo because I'm not Mexican and I'm not Mexican! I do enjoy Mexi fries which I usually get at Taco Time. I think that Americans like Leah Stafford it gives them an excuse to drink and be marry just like on St.Patrick's Day. I have just been informed by SMS AKA text message Leah is a white Mexican so I guess when she sent me a picture of a margarita and nachos to me um explains a lot. So with all that said I just farted so you gotta clear the room that's for my boy Erich Miller holla! Well what do you guys think of Cinco De Mayo? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!
