Only once when my Mexican Buddy Jeff was still alive. But no, not as a rule we don't.
Cinco De Moustache however... We don't celebrate that either.

I may be wrong but I believe it is the day when the Brits celebrate the fact that Guy Fox tried to blow up Parliament.

It's Guy Fawkes, and it is celebrated on November 5. The masks from the fim V Is For Vendetta are Guy Fawkes masks. In 1605 Guy and some other Catholics plotted to blow up the houses of Parliament.

We used to celebrate Guy Fawkes day here until Fireworks were banned.

It's just not Guy Fawkes day without fireworks.
