Cinco de Mayo
Margaritas are practically the national drink of Mexico. Some say the drink was created in a Mexican bar for a showgirl who was allergic to all kinds of alcohol except tequila. Others attribute its start to a Dallas socialite named Marjorie Sames at a Christmas party in her Acapulco home in the 1940’s.
Here’s a fun idea for a Cinco de Mayo party - a Salsa recipe contest! I love including contests when I plan parties. It makes things fun for everyone and gives your guests a chance to get to know each other better. It also lets you go shopping for fun prizes.
I'm always looking for ways to involve the kids in party planning. Here's a unique Cinco de Mayo decorating idea which includes the kids AND makes a fun science experiment.
The other day I asked my son William what "Cinco de Mayo" meant to him. "Um... the 5th of May?" he replied. It was one of those cute kid moments, but I think its important to know the meaning behind why we celebrate holidays.
