It exists for bars to sell Coronas and margaritas, just like St Patrick’s Day is to sell Guinness and corned beef & cabbage [which no one in Ireland eats]. It’s a commercial holiday. I agree with ‘party guy’, but technically it is an ‘American’ holiday, as Puebla is on the North American continent. No one is forcing anyone to celebrate anything – don’t harsh someone else’s mellow.

What’s your problem?”

I love living in an area where bigots get shot down fast 🙂 .
