Instructions

1. 

   Attire. Bring out your dancing huaraches, your enormous sombreros ,and make sure to take off the pancho. Remember you will be celebrating big and comfort comes before fashion.

2. Forget invitations. Two hours before your Cinco de Mayo celebration CALL no more than 10 people. The rest will tag along or arrive when smelling the food . Before you know it, your house will be full of people. Most of them will be people you haven't seen in years.

3. 

   What's up with the jams? A mariachi is required. You cannot have a Cinco de Mayo "pachanga" without the Mariachi. Make sure they know the song titled El Mariachi Loco.

   Bring a dancing partner. You'll be "huarachiando" all night long. Don't worry if you have no date; there will be plenty of uninvited guests to dance with.

   Dinner? Whatever you're preparing, it's IMPERATIVE that you include rice, beans and tortillas. The rest is extra. Oh, don't let me forget , pico the gallo is necessary as well.

6. 

   For fun? Don't forget La piñata. What's more fun that beating a flying cartoon character with a stick in front of the youngsters that absolutely worship it. Stuff it with candy so their pain won't last long.
