Christmas, certainly. Easter, maybe, more a day of worship with some celebration.

It's not ''May Day'', btw. Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of the victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla.

I thought you meant that May Day (May 1) was the second biggest holiday in Mexico.

I know Cinco de Mayo celebrates the defeat of the French forces at the Battle of Puebla, but I wasn't aware that it was *that* big of a holiday in Mexico (I thought that it was a minor holiday that was exploited by the beer and tequila industries in the U.S.).

Everyone beats the French. What's the big deal?
