~*~ Happy Kwanzaa ~*~




Lets bid our African American Brothers well in their holiday tradition known as Kwanzaa.
Celebrated from December 26 to January 1, by many African Americans.
It is a cultural holiday whose Swahili name translates as
Kinara Kinara

“First Fruits Of The Harvest.”


While this is a time to congregate and reflect upon
the Nguzo Saba, or seven principles,
it is invariably a time to feast. Having their own special dishes of Soups Bread and Chilies and other mouth watering recipies you will be able to find in the link below.
What a wonderful way to celebrate the world we live in, by reaching out and touching anothers culture. Tho Kwanzaa is not a Christmas Celebration, it is a celebration of the re-birth of a culture. This holiday is celebrated mostly in the home and by the lighting of the 7 candles, one each day while reflecting on the Seven Principles. A time of rejoicing and getting to know the real self. A bit of where they were, and where they are, and where they are going.
