Do you have to throw a Cinco de Mayo party on Cinco de Mayo?

[Baitball Blogger]

I noticed it falls on a Tuesday this year. Not a good day to attract many participants. So I was wondering if it was bad form to pick the weekend before or after, or does that some how dilute the purpose for the celebration?

And President's Day is just a made-up holiday to enrich the coffers of the presidential-industrial complex.

21. Actually Presidents Day was created to increase production and save money...

Some egghead figured combining Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays would save money.

Now, Mother's Day being underwritten by Hallmark® is debatable.
