And, of course, don't forget Hanukkah and the great victory and miracles that happened back then.

I've never really studied Kwanzaa. Can a Christian celebrate Kwanzaa? It sounds like a cultural holiday focused on philosophical ethics that could be compatible with one's faith as a Christian.

Is Kwanzaa cool?

I'm thinking that while we should respect Kwanzaa followers, we are best to stick to the pagan holidays we are more familiar with, ie Christmas.

LOL... That's funny.

But... concerning the opening post... I don't even celebrate Christmas... why on earth would I remember Kwanzaa?
