      6 times more people celebrate Festivus than Kwanzaa...

      By that logic considerably more people celebrate YouTube than either of them 🤓

      Celebrate?

        Yeah, I played fast and loose with the google trends, but I bet it translates. I bet more people stopped at that Festivus display at the airport than any Kwanzaa display…

          No it doesn't matter because there's no difference between a holiday created from a sitcom and a holiday created by a felon and torturer of women. Because all things that once didn't exist but now exist hold equal value.

              I don't know a single black person who celebrates Kwanzaa. My suspicion is they view it with skepticism as it intends to cast them in a role they never asked for.

                  Juneteenth has been a thing for much longer than Kwanzaa. It's been celebrated in Texas for many years.

                    I'd never heard of Juneteenth until a couple of years ago.

                    As far as I'm concerned, all American holidays are made up.

                    Plus, I've heard that Jerry Seinfeld's a bad tipper.

                      What about Juneteenth? While ai personally believe that Emancipation Day should be the celebration date in the same way we celebrate the 4th of July instead of September 28th, but I’ve got no qualms celebrating the practical end of slavery as opposed to the pronounced end. And it is definitely a historical event that should be celebrated.

                        And MLK should absolutely be celebrated. I choose to do so by skiing.

                          I don't have a problem with people celebrating any made-up day they like. Celebrating is generally good. Obviously, there's always going to be some miserable so-and-so complaining about it, but why worry? We'll all be dead soon. If anybody lies on his death-bed complaining about how there are too many holidays, then he's a fucking idiot.

                                You can’t spell celebrate without celibate, and also a misspelling.

                                Education is extremely important.

                                    Celebration is an anagram of "Erect Albino".
