I can't wait a moment mo-ore! Baby, Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa!
According to my SiteMeter, people are looking for my semi-notorious "'Twas the night before Kwanzaa" poem. So here it is, complete with hyperlinks that reveal the facts behind this fake holiday, which was invented in the 70s by a convicted felon and is now treated like an actual thing by your kid's teachers.
Telling the truth about Kwanzaa isn't easy. When I was still writing for the Toronto Star, my column on the subject was the only one they ever spiked ("Why ruin innocent people's fun?" was my editor's flaccid excuse). And I ran into a weird situation back in 2003...
So learn all you can about Kwanzaa then annoy your liberal family and friends around the dinner table. Cuz that's what Christmas is really all about!
