I hear people say they are celebrating Jesus’ birthday on the 25^th of December and they don’t care if that is his real birthday or not. I scratch my head when people just make up things as if the Bible and the Quran are not reference materials to be used to stop us from practicing foolishness. I read the Torah and found out that Jews didn’t celebrate birthdays during the time which Jesus lived so why are the so-called followers of Jesus celebrating his birthday? I read the Bible (Genesis 10:8-10) and found out about the man named Nimrod. He was a wild beast type of man who hunted the wild and ruled the people through fear and rituals. He was said to have married his own mother.

We know Jesus was not born in the month of December because he was born, according to the Bible (Luke 2:22-38), during Yom Kippur between the months of August and September of our current calendar. I once heard a story, which actually has roots in the Turkey pagan diety Attis, that when Nimrod died, his mother told the people his spirit was in a pine tree and that if they worship the tree he would still protect them. This is why the pagans started chopping down trees and dragging them into their homes as part of their ritual. I can go on and on about how Constantine brought wicked holidays into Christianity and how Christmas was once outlawed in America 200 years ago.

The real question is, will you still participate in a ritual once you have learned it has nothing to do with Jesus? I hear people say it’s a time for family. Well now, if that is the case, why not celebrate Kwanzaa, a series of days created specifically for African Americans, Blacks, New Africans or Original people whatever you claim, it’s for you and your family. The celebration was created by Dr. Maulana Karenga as an African American and Pan-African, millions throughout the world African community, Kwanzaa brings a cultural message which speaks to the best of what it means to be African and human in the fullest sense. Given the profound significance Kwanzaa has for African Americans and indeed, the world African community, it is imperative that an authoritative source and site be made available to give an accurate and expansive account of its origins, concepts, values, symbols and practice.

Give thanks we now have proper celebrations with the importance of principle over the materialist ideals of spending money.  You don’t have to go broke just to keep a capitalistic system going that works to constantly keep the poor and homeless in a less fortunate position, the very thing that Jesus taught against. I don’t want to be a bible quoting puppet but I do remember him saying something about ‘doing for the least of his people’ didn’t he? Until truth prevails my eyes will be watching.

Kwanzaa references per the founder Dr. Maulana Karenga:

To reinforce awareness of and commitment to the Seven Principles, using the greetings “Habari Gani?”  or “What’s the news?” introduces each prinicipal. All words are of Swahili origin.
