What do you need to celebrate kwanzaa?

If any of you celebrate kwanzaa, do you celebrate Christmas as well?

  • I am just curious as to whether people celebrate both holidays if they are part of their tradition, of if you only celebrate Kwanzaa.

  • Answer:

    I think the 3 people left that celebrate Kwanzaa also do Xmas.

Christians who celebrate kwanzaa also celebrate christmas. Kwanzaa was originally an alternative to other faith based holidays, but later the founder of kwanzaa decided it should not replace faith based holidays and could be celebrated in addition to them. See the links below for more information.

Kwanzaa is not a replacement for Christmas. During the early years of Kwanzaa, Karenga said that it was meant to be an alternative to Christmas, that Jesus was psychotic, and that Christianity was a white religion that black people should shun.[8] However, as Kwanzaa gained mainstream adherents, Karenga altered his position so that practicing Christians would not be alienated, then stating in the 1997 Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Family, Community, and Culture, "Kwanzaa was not created to give people an alternative to their own religion or religious holiday."[9] The origins of Kwanzaa are not secret and are openly acknowledged by those promoting the holiday.[10] Many Christian African Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa do so in addition to observing Christmas.[citation needed]
