Happy Cinco de Mayo! – 2015

Wikipedia

Unfortunately, Cinco de Mayo is still not considered an official U.S. national holiday. If you ask me, without the Battle of Puebla, to which it commemorates, Texas and much of the southwestern U.S. could still be in the hands of the French today. Aside from the fact that I’m from Texas and share a small amount of Mexican culture, I think this holiday is another wonderful educational opportunity. Instead of going out and drinking heavily, you could use this time as an opportunity to learn about another culture. So with that I say…

Feliz de Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Easter Everyone! – 2015

Wikipedia

Easter is a special time of year for many people. Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. Others, who observe this occasion, spend time with loved ones and celebrate the coming of spring. It’s a time of year to look at things with fresh and hopeful eyes.

Easter isn’t just for Christians and I think it’s great. I look forward to seeing people of all backgrounds decorating, hiding eggs, and dressing in bright colors. It’s simply a lovely time of the year. So, to anyone reading this post today, or some time down the road, Happy Easter to you and welcome to spring.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! – 2015

Wikipedia

I like the meaning or idea behind St. Patrick’s Day and though I’m not Irish or Catholic I do celebrate it. It’s a fun cultural experience that helps me remain open-minded and, unlike many others on this day, I do not go out and get drunk because I can.

I’m not going to go on a tangent about controversy today. Click the image up top if you want to know some of the history, but do some real research if you care. So with that, I say…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
