?<< Although this year’s celebration may not include the usual festivities and parades, the holiday’s underlying story of perseverance and resilience is as relevant as ever.

I got to sit on the patio of a restaurant and drink some $2 margaritas with a friend. That’s about the same as every year.

The holiday isn’t really observed in Mexico.

The importers of Mexican beer needed a promotion to sell beer, looked at an almanac, and came up with a fake holiday.

Seriously.
