Happy Kwanzaa - Day 1 of the SOC Great Kwanzaa Giveaway!

Good Morning!  Happy Kwanzaa!


Today marks the 1st Day of Kwanzaa.  Kwanzaa is a week-long, African American holiday observance held from December 26 to January 1. Kwanzaa is not a religious holiday, but a cultural one, a syncretic festival, based on various elements of the first harvest celebrations widely celebrated in Africa, around the 10th month of the year. Each day marks a different principle.  Today's is Umoja (oo mo jah) meaning unity.
