What Is Cinco de Mayo?
6. Cinco de Mayo in the USA
It is great to be able to take a day off from time to time. Holidays in particular are enjoyable because everybody else gets to take a break as well. This means you get to share the occasion with friends and family, and many people will make specific arrangements for the occasion.

While Cinco de Mayo was celebrated by so many for a very long time, it was not officially made a national holiday until 2005. It was President George W. Bush that chose to recognize the significance of the event by holding an annual reception at the White House. Perhaps ironically, it is not a national holiday in Mexico.
