Today, May 5 is, of course Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for the fifth of May), a day associated with Mexico. You have probably heard people talking about Cinco de Mayo. Maybe you have been invited to or know of a party celebrating it.What do you know of the history of Cinco de Mayo? It seems like it is a bigger day in the United States than in parts of Mexico! Mexican Independence day is actually September 16. On May 5, 1862 the Mexican army defeated the French army at the Battle of Puebla. So yes, I guess you could say that it is a big day anyway. This site will give you more information on the day.
What do you know about this holiday? Will you be celebrating later today? What do you think of Mexican food? You post should answer at least one of these questions! Here are a couple of videos that may help inspire you!

I don't know anything about this holiday, so no I won't be celebrating it. I love Mexican food, it is so good (: . I really think I could live off of it.
I do not know much about the holiday itself. All I know is that it is very important to the Spanish. Though, I will most likely not be celebrating this holiday, I still enjoy the Mexican food it brings.
The only mexican food I ever tasted is tacos. Mexican food tends to be filled with spices that I cant handle. I think it would me fun if I were mexican. Its kinda like a big family reunion.
what is think of this holiday is I think its not a big holiday for me since im not of Mexican descent. What I know about it is its really special to the Mexicans and many people in the United States Loves to celebrate it. What I think of Mexican food is its awesome I love tacos.

I really don't know a lot about Cinco de Mayo except that it is on May 5. I do like Mexican food; it's on of my favorites. I actually have a family member that lives in Mexico. She came to visit us a few weeks ago at my aunts house.
I’ve never celebrated Cinco de mayo. I don’t plan on celebrating it any time soon. I like Mexican food.
All i know about this day is from what i read. And that is, the Mexican army defeated the French army. I do eat Mexican food, all the time. I will not be celebrating this day later. i honestly didn't know what was special about today until today.
I love Mexican food. I wish I could eat it every day. I have also been there. The beaches are wonderful, and I love the culture there. People say that you should not drink the water there so I was a little scared at first to go.
Mexican culture is spicy. Their food is very good. I never really heard Cinco de Mayo mentioned, its not popular among me or my family and friends. However, Mexicans are proud and celebrate the independence achieved on September 16th.
Some of my family celerbrates this hoilday by drinking together and having a good old time. I love mexican food. Muy favorite place to go is either Taco Bell or Plaza Astezka.

I like mexican food, and i was going to celebrate cinco de mayo later on today, but my plans have been changed.
I do not really know much about this holiday. I will not be celebrating it. I like taco bell, but I don't like mexican restaraunts.
I think cinco de mayo is a cool and interesting holiday. I won't be celebrating the holiday today. I think mexican food is great and i eat it occasionally.
I have no idea what this holiday is about. Since I do not have Mexican origins I will not be celebrating Cinco De Mayo. The only thing about it I like is the food. All the delicious Mexican food, being so spicy. I love it. That's all I know though
I think that as Americans, we always need an excuse to have a party. That is why we take important days from other countries (like Cinco de Mayo from Mexico) to have fun and enjoy Mexican food, which I think is alright if nachos are your thing. Other than nachos, I don't like any other Mexican food.
I never heard of this holiday before. Mexican food is the best. No I would not be celebrating this holiday becauseI do not know what it is or for.
I don't know anything about this holiday. No, I will not be celebrating this later. I think some Mexican food is good but, some of it is gross.
I enjoy Mexican food very much, my favorite Mexican food is Tacos. Im sorry but I don't have the slightest clue of what this holiday celebrates or how it became a holiday.I wouldn't mind learning about this holiday.
Well I don’t really know much about Cinco De Mayo. But I guess it’s pretty cool that they defeated the French. Also I love tacos and nachos:).
I love eating tacos. I’ve never celebrated Cinco de mayo but, would be cool to have one day out of the year especially for mexican food. I didn't really know why they celebrated it until today, but I have heard of it before.
I'm sure Cinco De Mayo goes way back. I've heard about this holiday because I was in Spanish first semester. I don't celebrate this holiday, but I do like Mexican food.
I don't know about this holiday other than it is big in Mexico. I will not be celebrating this holiday. The only Mexican food I've eaten is tacos, and they're good.
Before today the only thing I knew about this holiday was that is was a Spanish tradition. I think that it's an important day for Mexico because they defeated the French. I do love mexican food though.

When I was in Spanish we celebrated Cinco de Mayo. In Spanish cultures the celebrate by throwing large fiestas. I love Mexican food, it very delicious. No, I will not be celebrating Cinco de Mayo today. Adios mi amigos, hasta manana!!!
The only Mexican food I ever tasted is tacos. I love tacos. They tasted so good. I’ve never celebrated Cinco de Mayo. One day I would really like to celebrate it in Mexico. I know they are partying like it's their last day. We have Mexicans living in the U.S.A. They have some good songs but I can't understand them.
Iv been around Cinco de Mayo and have celebrated it twice with friends. I learned about it in Arizona were I lived for 5 years while my mom was stationed on Davis Mothan Air Force Base. Mexican food is ok it just turns my stomach but they did come up with the best invention of all time the quesadilla.
