Hotep,
I know that most of you celebrate Christmas but this year I decide to celebrate Kwanzaa as well. This is also consider a Value system check it out and don't forget to Tell someone Habari gani
Finally, it is important to note Kwanzaa is a cultural holiday, not a religious one, thus available to and practiced by Africans of all religious faiths who come together based on the rich, ancient and varied common ground of their Africanness.

In elementary school we learned this song about kwanzaa...The only principle I remember is Kugishaklea(sp) "self determination" <---- my kinda word.
I think Kwanzaa is a beautiful celebration all African-descended people should celebrate. I don't celebrate it with my family now, but I probably will when I have a wife and kids of my own. Happy Kwanzaa to everyone that celebrates it!!
