[quote=Anonymous]One family I know does a great Kwanzaa celebration every year. They pick one of the seven principles and discuss it for a quick bit, then everyone goes around the room to mention something connected to that principle or someone they want remembered in the ceremony. A father and daughter go through a small ritual of water and/or fire (like lighting a candle), which is very sweet. It reminds me of the eldest boy reading at a seder. Then, everybody eats. It's a large potluck. Thanksgiving in our house was never about Pilgrims and Indians, it was an opportunity to express gratitude for whatever came our way that year----a good grade, a new friend... I think the way this family organized Kwanzaa celebrations accomplished this as well. [/quote]
