We are in our third day of Kwanzaa celebrations. This was something that Kirby; my little brother; decided all on his own that he wanted to try and celebrate this year and so we as a cluster of family and friends come together and celebrate.
It's been really fun, I have to say!! I enjoy this little quasi-holiday!!! I feel this connection and togetherness when we all gather together around the Quinora (sp?) and give thanks to our ancestors and share thoughts on the night's theme. It doesn't seem so contrived and organized... and it's a nice little pick me up after the mad rush we have created for Christmas. Unfortunately we have turned that holiday into one of fear and dread. There is no Christmas spirit anymore!! We have placed a bar code on the holiday and it's up for sale. Kwanzaa... not so much!! No stress on where to purchase the hottest toy of the season or what size show your nephew wears now. This holiday is simply about togetherness and reflection on our past. LOVE IT!!!! If you haven't experienced Kwanzaa yet, you should give it a whirl!! It's very rewarding!! A nice end to the holiday season!!
