How to decorate Cinco de Mayo party?

Mexican Flag Necklace

Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "Fifth of May") is one of favorite Mexican holidays to commemorate a glorious victory over French forces at the battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. This is a famous Mexican culture festival with a lot of music, dances, yummy foods, and drinks.
Cinco de Mayo is celebrated not only in Mexico but all around the World. According to Wikipedia.org, "On June 7, 2005, the U.S. Congress issued a Concurrent Resolution calling on the President of the United States to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe Cinco de Mayo with appropriate ceremonies and activities."
