Kwaanza is a pagan earth worship event, and a very minor African celebration. It was introduced into American culture for one reason only, it is celebrated at Christmas time, and its worship here helps to dilute the true meaning of the Christmas Season.

Like the comparatively minor Jewish holiday called "Chanuka", Kwaanza has no religious comparison whatsoever to the major Christian Holy Day of Christmas. Christmas is an entire holy Season on the Christian calendar that commemorates the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Kwaanza celebrates the earth, Chanuka celebrates a battle between the Greeks and Jews over Jerusalem.

One small way to combat this attack on our Christian faith is to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone this season, and dispense with the PC "happy holliday" bs. Also, buy only CHRISTMAS cards to send to your friends, and don't buy that "Happy Hollidays" nonsense. This will ensure that more and more CHRISTMAS will be put into the Christmas Season.

Thank you! It's amazing - even when ordering gifts over the phone and you say 'Merry Christmas', how they squirm like it's a dirty phrase! I am in the belly of the beast lefty California bay area, but have noticed this nationwide.

*** Not even. It's not even about paganism. It's an atheistic communist holiday. I think more sissy white liberals celebrate kwanzaa than anyone else.

BTW, I'm also on the 'Merry Christmas' bandwagon. I hate 'happy holidays' and the all nauseating 'season's greetings'.

Funny how he's carrying on about paganism while various pagan trappings of the Saturnalia are taken as part and parcel of normative Christmas observance.

Hanukkah (the variation, by the way, is Chanukah, not Chanuka) is not "an attack" on your Christian faith, and your suggestion that Hanukkah is comparable in some way to "Kwanza" is pointedly anti-semitic. Knock it off.

Hanukah is a ancient celebration of courage, faith, liberty and devotion to God. I think we should all honor it, unlike Kwanzaa.

I have to disagree about Chanukah. It's called the Feast of Dedication in the New Testament and Jesus went to the Temple to celebrate it. The celebration is a remembrance of a miracle that God did concerning the Second Temple. In this sense it is incomparable with Kwanzaa which was simply made up.
