They're all good, especially when I'm invited over to help celebrate.

OK, so I thought Kwanzaa was not a religious holiday.

I thought it was a made up holiday by a guy in California.

What religion is Kwanzaa a celebration of?

What holiday isn't made up by some guy?

Sorry I could not find there what religion Kwanzaa was associated with.

I thought the OP was asking about religious holidays.

Maybe I need to adjust my glasses. After I buy some. Laughing

My understanding, from people I've known who celebrate Kwaanza, is that its focus is unity within a community and encouraging strength and cohesiveness among individuals through familial and community ties.

I think the reason you didn't find any religious basis or background on it is because there isn't any, or at least that was never a part of it that my neighbors in NJ who I used to celebrate it with emphasized - and they were Christians. They did it in addition to Christmas. I think the themes and practices of Kwaanza are admirable.

Of the religious observances that are not inherent to the religion I grew up with, I really like the concept behind Passover. I like the whole theme of deliverance and redemption. The scriptural literature and readings are beautiful. The food is okay - I've actually come to like gefilta (phonetic spelling - I don't know how to spell it) fish- but I do love the matzoh ball soup.
