Wow talk about the pot calling the kettle black? For you to call madonna a freak is like bill clinton calling anybody a mound hound. Have you looked in the mirror lately? Great reference to Festivus. . . . this is my airing of grievences. Anyhow. . . . kwanza is the noise my wang makes upon depositing the money load!

Kwanzaa is an African-American and Pan-African holiday which is intended to celebrate family, community and culture. The word Kwanza with one "a" is swahili for first fruits. There were first fruits celebrations in many traditional African cultures, Kwanzaa, however, is an American creation. Kwanzaa was invented to circumvent the commercialism of Christmas. It begins the day after Christmas and ends on New Year's day. Each day is centered on one of seven principles of African community. It is a cultural holiday not a religious one.
I do not believe that Madonna celebrates Kwanzaa...

It is an acient african holiday invented in 1969 by a professor at UC Berkley. It's right after Christmas so the presents can keep on coming......

Kwanzaa is an African holiday that lasts for 7 days (I think). It's very important to the African society.

Kwanzaa is a made up Hallmark holiday.
I don't think Madonna celebrates it.
