In the early 1990s when Jawanza Kunjufu and a slew of others challenged us to view the world through more of an Afrocentric paradigm...when everyone was sporting headwraps and African clothes...that's when my fam and I really got into the whole tradition. But now, we simply recognize the holiday in ornamentation and by supporting black business as much as possible. We don't go full blast.
In my family, we've really scaled things down around the holidays and keeping it simple with a primary focus on Christmas....but because of the similarities in the secular meaning of the Christmas holiday and Kwanzaa, I can see where the two can successfully overlap.
