There is a holiday approaching which millions will celebrate yet little is known about it in the mainstream. This holiday is Kwanzaa. It basically means first fruits of the harvest, in Swahili, the East African trade language. It beens a holiday for years yet only now is it starting to become popular among the masses.
Kwanzaa is celebrated by sitting down each day to discuss then celebrate each one of the holiday’s seven principles a day. There are times when gifts are exchanged, but not all the time so that it does not become commercially driven like many holidays have become. Actually, if gifts are exchanged that are only done so to to children and be handmade or hold some cultural relevance.
