Milagros

Lotería Chicana sums up my antipathy toward the U.S.'s Cinco de Mayo in a positive way:
If Cinco de Mayo was a real holiday—instead of just an excuse to drink lots of tequila—there'd be some kind of gift giving or at least all Mexicans would get hugs. Even, better there'd be Cinco de Mayo miracles and claymation movies reenacting the Battle of Puebla. That would be neat and then maybe people would know the real reason for the season.
You can read her list of Cinco de Mayo wishes for General Zaragoza, as well.

Also, I would totally not mind hugs today.

In Santa Barbara, locals despise Cinco de Mayo and "Fiesta," which is a local thing that happens annually. Both occasions just mean drunk people from LA are mobbing downtown. Everybody who lives in SB just stays indoors.
