Viva Mexico, today is el Cinco de Mayo! Today is the day you gained your independence!
Wait, what's that? We're all silly Americans? You're independence day is September 16th? Today isn't even a real holiday? It's only a commemoration of a victory against the French in 1862? Yes, we are silly.
I am in a snarky mood. Dunno why, but I am going to take it out on the Holiday. Or the French, neither matter. You know it's true Frenchies, I mean we're just silly Americans celebrating an unimportant Mexican holiday, but let's look at the facts. You lost against Mexico. I think that outweighs our American silliness.
So, because we are all silly about this holiday, or maybe only Utahns take it to silly lengths, I think I shall rename this day.
No longer is it a day to do Mexican-like things, and eat their food (which is supremely delicious), but it is a day of commemoration of all French losses. Today is the day that we shall sally forth and make fun of France for all their losses, not like we wouldn't any other day mind you, just that today, it is official.
So who's with me?
Or am I just alone?
I bet I am alone, aren't I?

i finally read this a couple months after you posted, and you're quite gone now, so you may never read this, but i have decided to join you in your movement :) that makes one holiday that i previously ignored totally awesome.
I am still here Kristian, just lazy and enjoying life.
I do need to post more though.
Glad to hear that you are joining me in the celebration of the actual holiday.
