Today begins the celebration of Kwanzaa. It is an annual celebration of African-American culture from December 26 to January 1. It was created by activist Maulana Karenga based on African harvest festival traditions from various parts of West, East, and Southeast Africa. Peace to all who celebrate.
There are eight days of Hanukkah. Twelve days of Christmas. Seven days of Kwanzaa. Not to mention New Year’s Eve and Day. There is lots of celebrating to do. Be safe, have fun, be blessed. God be with you all.
Kwanzaa is a secular festival observed by many African Americans from December 26 to January 1 as a celebration of their cultural heritage and traditional values.
To all my friends celebrating may this be a day of peace, celebrations and love. May all humanity have the spirit of this day.
Just as a reminder there is more than one holiday being celebrated this time of year. Happy Holidays to all observing their cultural, religious and other celebrations.
Kwanzaa is a week-long annual celebration held in the United States and other nations of the African diaspora in the Americas to honor African heritage in African-American culture. It is observed from December 26 to January 1.
There are many holiday celebrations going on. The best way to love thy neighbor is to honor their holiday traditions. Its a big party thing to do.
