Reason for the Season
Happy Yule, Saturnalia, Alban Arthan - the Winter Solstice. We are a few days away from the solstice, but we are in the Saturnalia festival period. So happy solstice! It is the reason for the season.

I've often wondered how long that will be a federal holiday. Doesn't that mean that government is recognizing a religious holiday?

Its recognizing that the 25th is officially not a working day for the government. The other 364 are just if Congress feels up to it.

Because its a fictitious, racist, socialist "holiday" made up by a black nationalist in 1966.

I looks like you've got a "War on Kwanzaa" going. And Kwanzaa is no more fictitious than Christmas, Christ is a very socialist character, and many who profess to be Christians are incredibly racist. So you must have very negative feelings about Christmas is you're honest with yourself. Of course, that's highly doubtful.

Was he socialist or was he charitable? Also, what group of human beings isn't filled with racist people?
