Kwanzaa may be a relatively recent holiday, but its focus on culture and creativity is a beautiful thing and something all makers should be able to appreciate. Like Hanukkah, to celebrate Kwanzaa you light a candle each night in the kinara. This is a quick how-to for making your own from baby blocks.

Here is another article from Care2.com listing easy tips for making Kwanzaa celebrations eco-friendly, i.e. DIY. (Would that making instead of buying was the norm!)

About Buying for Kwanzaa
Reply

Being conscious of how you spend your money is an integral part of Kwanzaa. One of the goals of the founders of this holiday was to encourage buying from African American retailers. According to a friend who was an associate of Dr. Maulana Karenga part of the motivation for chosing the days after Christmas is to take advantage of after-Christmas sales - another way to encourage keeping money in the African American community.
