Kwanzaa is a seven-day celebration honoring African heritage in African American culture and takes place from December 26th to January 1st. All 7 Principles of Kwanzaa are inspiring, uplifting, positive, and centered on traditions of the African harvest season. The name Kwanzaa comes from the Swahili phrase meaning first fruits of the harvest. Sending this happy Kwanzaa wish card to someone who celebrates is a nice way to connect and show respect for their heritage.
