Well, here at my house we packed away the Kwanzaa stuff for another year. Thanks to everyone who dropped by this blog during the past week, and to my first two SITBB "guest bloggers," Deb and Lisa!
In 2006, as I have in past years, I will attempt to keep the principles of Kwanzaa in my mind as I go through my daily life. For a time I will likely forget some of the rancor that has seemed to go along with discussions of Kwanzaa in recent years--that is, until Black History Month or the next racial "incident" or some other occassion that may reveal the fault lines among and between groups of people.
Then this December (12 brief months away) I will once again unearth our Kwanzaa box, and unpack all the paraphenalia with great hopes for what the special reflection and celebration will do for me, my family, my friends, the country at large.
Happy 2006!
