You moved MOM to May first?

Damn I missed it again.

Instead of 1 Nov. Pagans celebrate Halloween. (The night before) But again I could be wrong, Sabbath for the practicing Jews starts at sundown Friday.

Where in America are you on the 5th of May.

Just because it is not a government holiday such as Halloween, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ certainly celebrates it.

It's about the Battle of Puebla, not 'their' independence day.

My spelling may be derelict regarding the Battle's name.

Moi, May 5th is a big holiday in the south west, but not in this part of the country, on the other hand Columbus day is a big event in Chicago. When growing up in California did we ever celebrate Columbus day?

Between my first and second year in Milwaukee, they got their first Taco Bell.

I went for a Beef Combo Burrito, and they portioned the beans like it was mustard.

So the beer and BBQ commercials for Cinco de Mayo don't run nation wide?

Columbus Day, wasn't it a school holiday back in the day ?

Looking for a reason to celebrate πŸ™„

The story goes that the Titanic sank with 50,000 cases of Helmans Mayonnaise headed for Mexico.

Mexico now celebrates a day of mourning called "Sinko de Mayo".

I asked a man at work and that's the story I got.

We don't celebrate Guy Fawkes day in this country.

Remember, remember the Fifth of November.

oh my goodness.

That joke brings back memories from when I first heard it at my sixth birthday party (that was 56 years ago).
