Here's a day that ought to be celebrated: February 2, the day when Mexico agreed to turn the southwest over to the United States.

Celebrating Guadalupe Hidalgo Day, 2021—Party Like It's 1848!

Here is an example of some ways to celebrate it:

Put an oversized image of the Mexican Eagle on the wall, with some removable feathers. Each feather is prepared with an instruction hidden on the back, ranging from silly things like “walk like a dinosaur” for little kids to “take a drink” for the college set. Players take turns plucking the feathers and following the instructions. It’s like Pin The Tail On The Donkey, except that the players are removing feathers instead of adding tails—and the winner gets 525,000 square miles of valuable land.
