Do you view Kwanzaa as a real holiday, or a joke?

I don't celebrate Kwanzaa. I don't need a gimmick to get in tune with my culture's history.
Christmas is a joke, too. |

The way Christmas is celebrated is a joke. As an actual religious holiday, not so much. However, it barely retains any of that original meaning at all, and has warped into more of an American holiday than a Christian one (which makes people's urge to be politically correct absurd). I think the main joke would be because it shows so perfectly American we are: the sheer and utter commerialism is sickening, and yet most people aren't willing to give it up anyway. |

Glad we're on the same page.
