Which is more real? Festivus or Kwanzaa?
Festivus - The non-commercial holiday's celebration, as depicted on Seinfeld, occurs on December 23 and includes a Festivus dinner, an unadorned aluminum Festivus pole, practices such as the "Airing of Grievances" and "Feats of Strength", and the labeling of easily explainable events as "Festivus miracles".
Kwanza - Kwanzaa (/ˈkwɑːn.zə/) is a week-long celebration held in the United States and in other nations of the West African diaspora in the Americas. The celebration honors African heritage in African-American culture and is observed from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a feast and gift-giving.[1] Kwanzaa has seven core principles (Nguzo Saba). It was created by Maulana Karengaand was first celebrated in 1966–67.
Both were created within the past 50 years by a single person.

Kwanza was doomed as soon as children figured out it was full of rituals and no presents.

Festivus is more real based on it's spirit, Kwanza has legitimacy because it's older but pretty ****ed. Apparently the guy that invented it in the 60s was a sh*tbag.

Kwanza was created by a Long Beach University professor in the late 60's. Sorry to break it to you.

Neither is more or less "real" than Christmas, which is a pastiche of winter solstice pagan celebrations and traditions.
Jesus was not born in December, and there's no mandate or mention of celebrating his birth in the bible.

I have no problem admitting what the Bible does or doesn't say. |
