I thought your point was that people have become way to politically correct at this time of year (or ANY time of year for that matter, but that’s my own addition).
I would love to celebrate Decemberween! But there are already plenty of Holidays in December . . . how about we make it Augustween. It has a sort of bell-chiming ring to it, don’t you think?
Haven’t you or your family ever made up a holiday? Or new traditions even. New traditions get started all the time and most of them are an excuse to have fun. Freak! I’ve made July 31 holiday for me and I’m sure I don’t need to tell you why ^_^. Pretty much all holidays are made up if you think about it.
Oh, and about Kwanzaa. I know hardly anything about it myself, but I do know that it is a holiday to celebrate African roots and there are seven qualities that they promote. Actually, I just found a website about it here:
www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org
After learning about it in elementary school I’ve always wanted to see how it was celebrated. Just like how I wanted to see how Hanukkah was celebrated. I think it would be really cool and interesting to see. But then, I’ve never really known too many black people . . . or Jews for that matter, and (this is off the subject) I’d be a little afraid I’d make a mess of myself because I’m very awkward in situations where I don’t know what I’m doing.
And I certainly am disturbed by anyone who seriously celebrates Festivus with all of its “traditions” of disappointment and wrestling and all, but celebrating it just to be funny is another thing (It’s something that I do all the time ^_^).
