Well, to drive this further off topic.... ;)

All holidays are "made up." They are celebrations of this thing or that,
lots of times an event. Nobody'd have thought of having a holiday before
the thing happened, right?

The difference with kwanzaa is that it's silly/stupid because it's (AFAIK) a
celebration of racial identity which stems (IMO) from an insecurity of some
type, where lots of other holidays are silly/stupid because they're
celebrations of national identity (for instance) which stem (IMO) from an
insecurity of some type :P
