Oh, if only it was that simple, Anthony! LOL Even so, the thoughts expressed are interesting. Thanks!

Here's one small dilemma I've had that brought this to my attention. I don't understand Kwanzaa very well at all but, when my neighbor said they celebrated Kwanzaa, I didn't know what to say except 'That's nice' or some other stupid statement like 'How interesting'. How much better if I had had something appropriate with which to respond. Should I wish them happy Kwanzaa? Perhaps sympathy or an offer of help? Heck, I don't know for sure.

I found a small snippet on Kwanzaa (subsequent to the encounter) and it said it is some type of celebration of family and community. If so, my comment of 'That's nice' must've sounded like I was a total air-head who doesn't even appreciate family and community. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Ah, well...
