Cinco de Mayo is a national holiday in the United States of America on 5th May in order to commemorate the unexpected victory of the Mexican army over the French army in a battle fought in 1862. Generally, I prefer to celebrate this holiday by simply relaxing at home with my family. However, last year we had a blast with our close friends as we planned a whole day’s program.
We organized a small party at our home on Cinco de Mayo. We made sure that the party is celebrated in Mexican style. There was a Mexican beer drinking competition in which all the men involved in the party participated. Tequila was overflowing in the party to mark the beginning of the carnival. Mexican music was being played in the party, especially the song by Bob Dylan comprising of the phrase “fifth day of May”. Once the dancing and drinking sessions were over, we served food which comprised of mainly Mexican dishes. There were four varieties of sushi in dinner prepared in different types of sauces. Guests really loved the delicious nachos as well as tortillas. Dinner was followed by lots of desserts. On the whole, we celebrated Cinco de Mayo in traditional Mexican style. It was great fun and we wish to repeat the same in the years to come.
