But for bonus points what is the importance of another holiday The Dia de los Muertes???? I've seen too many videos on that day. They celebrate the lives of deceased relatives/friends. Eat their favorite foods, visit their grave, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I had to ask the question, because I always laugh at all the people getting drunk at Hacienda on the 5th of May, pounding Margaritas and Coronas, yet they have no idea why. I find it pretty entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it pretty entertaining. Not as bad as one of my co-workers yesterday who asked me and I quote, "Did we miss the 'cincademayo" holiday this year?" I was stunned till I remembered that my accounting firm has about as much ethnic diversity as a KKK rally... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 5, 2005 -> 08:46 AM) bonus question.........and why do we celebrate it in America? Because drinking is part of the celebration. Same reason we celebrate St. Patrick's Day. If Flag Day included alcohol, we'd celebrate Flag Day like a muthaf***a. No green included or intended.
