It's important not to forget the true meaning of any of America's hojillion imported holidays, which all seem to revolve around sponsorship by Anheuser Busch.
No, you're supposed to celebrate a temporary Mexican defeat of part of a French army which was trying to install an Austrian Archduke on the non existent Mexican throne. Which they succeeded in doing, until Napoleon III lost interest.
ReplyDeleteWon't be long until it's an American national holiday.

ReplyDeleteall other nights? Because we get to
pop the cork on the dreidel.

I can provide some wine on which the

sweet. It was christened "Mogen
