Cinco de Mayo is one of the world's most enjoyable holidays. After all, what's better than a valid excuse to eat Mexican food and drink Margaritas?

To complete this How-To you will need:

Mexican food
Mexican beer
Ingredients for Margaritas
A piñata
Novelty items to place in the piňata
Mexican trivia

Step 1: Plan the menu

Provide plenty of easy noshing with big bowls of tortilla chips, guacamole, and salsa. Cook a few authentic Mexican dishes, or just make a big pot of chili and maybe order some Mexican take-out.

Tip: Ask each guest to prepare a Mexican dish—but make sure you know what they're bringing ahead of time, so you don't end up with 20 bowls of salsa.

Step 2: Buy the booze

Get some Mexican beer, and have plenty of triple sec, tequila, lime juice, and ice on hand for Margaritas. And don't forget the coarse salt for the rims!

Step 3: Decorate

Decorate on the cheap by hanging a big map of Mexico along with large handmade cutouts of cacti, sombreros, and Mayan pyramids. Blow up balloons in red, white, and green -- the colors of the Mexican flag.

Step 4: Get a piñata

Get a piñata and fill it with novelties like jumping beans, chili-flavored hard candies, and tequila gummy worms.

Step 5: Organize a trivia game

Compile multiple-choice questions about Mexican trivia for a drinking game. When a player gets enough answers wrong, he must down a shot of tequila. The player with the most correct answers gets a small gag prize at the end.

Step 6: Break the piñata

End the night by letting everyone take turns whacking the piñata with a baseball bat or broomstick.

Nope, the real reason they celebrate 5 de Mayo is becaue General Ignacio Zaragoza, the guy who defeated the French was born in Texas.

Oh come on, we all know you celebrate Cinco de Mayo by saying "Shut the fuck up!" (or "Callate la pinche boca!"), drinking a lot of booze and punching yourself.
