Snow, thanks for starting this thread. I know we have discussed some of this before, but so many people think Cinco De Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day and it is not.

Some good memories I have are knowing there will be homemade tamales during the Christmas and New Year's holiday. Beef, Pork, and Sweet tamales. Oh and like our guy Shaft said, the panderia. I love these places.

(Can you see I love mexican food?)

She is not a holiday but certainly a proud Latina, Linda Ronstadt. She came out with her album, Canciones, until then, I never knew she was also mexican descent. (She is also a Leo, July 28th.) Her diving into her Latino/a heritage gave me the courage to hold my head high and know, I was Latino enough too.
