Kwanzaa is a seven day non-religious celebration that begins on December 26th and culminates on January 1st. It is a celebration to honor African-American ancestral roots. The seven days are the Nguzu Saba - the seven principles: Umoja (unity), kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility), Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity), and Imani (fatih).
Each day a candle is lit on the candle holder which is called a kinara. On the final day we gather for a feast called the Karamu. This year, I decided to decorate my home with balloons to represent the candles on the kinara and set my table with beautiful plates and utensils from Party City.
