are christians and jews offended that they used the african holiday Kwanzaa in the song too? i love the idea…it’s all the same damn thing. the message: “lighten up. it’s the holidays.”
Kwanzaa is actually an American holiday. It was started in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, an LA gangster who wanted to form a separatist black state. After being released from stint in prison after he imprisoned people in his home and tortured them with hot irons and electrical cords, he became a Marxist, and became head of the Black Studies Department at California State University in Long Beach.
Ergo the song, “On the first day of Kwanzaa, my true love tortured me…”
LOL.
Reminds me of that TV serie, “The O.C.”, in which Seth launches “Chrismukkah”.
Funny, but I could see how it could offend some or come off as sacreligious…
I could see how it could offend almost everyone.
ha!
I really don’t find it funny to add mix Hannukah with Christmas, since they’re total opposites.
I do like the song though; it’s catchy.
I loved it (and posted) when I received the email from Virgin the other day. Very Santa Fe, actually.
Not sure whether to laugh or be offended…. Then again, laughter is always a good way to go.

Yeah, I had to do a report on Kwanzaa last year and it really seems like Hunnakah for African-Americans. In both holidays candles have a deep meaning.
Does any 1 know the words to the song
I love the concept! We all bleed the same and we all have the same hopes and dreams. Love it.
