My company has a Kwanzaa Candleabra in our lobby for the five black people that work there (one of whom is the CEO and probably doesn't celebrate it).
> Then again, most of my family celebrates a holiday that was created to coincide with the Pagan solstice. They claim it is to celebrate the birth of their lord, but he was born in MARCH (when the Romans took the census), NOT December. ;-)

They claim it is to celebrate the birth of their lord, but he was born in MARCH (when the Romans took the census), NOT December. ;-)As an atheist, I couldn't care less when or how any religious celebration is made, but you can hardly hear the word "Christmas" mentioned without someone adding that it used to be a pagan holiday, etc. Yet until fairly recently I never knew about the criminal background of Kwanzaa's founder--seems like they could mention that as frequently as they mention the Christmas/Pagan thing, since the guy is still around and those events so recent.
