Next week will be the start of the Kwanzaa celebration which starts on Dec 26th. Kwanzaa is an African-American holiday that is celebrated during the week after Christmas ending on New Years Day in many African-American communities.
It has been more of a Community Celebration than a Private Family Celebration for the majority of people that our family has known in these modern times. A time of reflection & respecting our elders & enjoying our neighbors, community members, friends, blood family our wider circle of unrelated but we consider them to be family.
The intent of the celebration is to encourage & instill positive values from the elders to the younger generations as well as foster a sense of belonging in the community. Many community celebrations have a marketplace area to not only buy items but additionally connect people with community services that they may have been unaware of.
Have you been to a Community Kwanzaa Celebration in your area?
The video below explains some of the history of Kwanzaa

3 Hours of Christmas Music Classics and Holiday Scenery
Wanted to share this video
which reminded me of my childhood...
My mother had an album collection that had 4 or 5 LPs
(LPs = Long Playing vinyl record for those who are too young)
of Christmas Music by various artists that she would play during the holiday season.
Play the music while going about your chores today (0;}

10 Days Until Christmas Morning
This was posted on Facebook by Christmas CountDown
I thought it was a funny picture in the "weird sort of way" funny
Santa & an Elf snowboarding down the hill while an Alien Spaceship is overhead?
It made me wonder had they seen an old movie I watched as a child...
I do not recall the name of the movie at this moment;
but the plot was that Purple Martians kidnap Santa then Elves & Children save Santa & Christmas
Times were so much simpler back in those days for both Parents & Children
Our taxes were lower, our money worth more & although we didn't have technology like we do now it seems that back in those days families & friends were more connected with the people around them both at work & around the neighborhood.
Let's Live in the Christmas Spirit these last few days of 2014
There are families & single people who are in need of an act of Kindness...
Can you set an extra place at your holiday table for a senior or single who might not have a family table to go to this holiday season?
Do you know a family that is working & "over income" for any of the charity programs that might help pay the electric, heat or oil that maybe you can slip them a gift card for a tank of gas?
Is there a family that is on hard times that could use some help with the yard work or some repairs that your family could go over & spend a few hours helping them?
There are so many people who are lonely & in need of Simple Kindness
Let's All Do Our Part so that #LoveWins
