Posted by Train Dude on Wed Dec 27 21:26:41 2006, in response to Kwanzaa begins today, posted by salaamallah@hotmail.com on Tue Dec 26 03:15:26 2006. Given the following (top 5) definitions, Kwanzaa would more properly be called a celebration and not a holiday;1. a day fixed by law or custom on which ordinary business is suspended in commemoration of some event or in honor of some person. 2. any day of exemption from work (distinguished from working day). 3. a time or period of exemption from any requirement, duty, assessment, etc.: New businesses may be granted a one-year tax holiday. 4. a religious feast day; holy day, esp. any of several usually commemorative holy days observed in Judaism. 5. Sometimes, holidays. Chiefly British. a period of cessation from work or one of recreation; vacation. |
