We celebrate Kwanzaa every year and invite guests over on the last day, Imani (purpose). I would love to have some ideas on some festive and earthy ways to decorate the house. Thanks!

Oops, I'm sorry Imani means faith not purpose (Nia is purpose)

We usually hang the African American flag as the centerpiece of our display. Then we have the rug, the corn, African art,and things that represent each of the 7 principles to each member in my family. Then some pictures of our family and Black leaders. We also have the traditional Kinara which as the corresponding candles in it that we light each day. We celebrate both Christmas and Kwanzaa so most of our living area is in use. To bring harmony to the celebrations, we usually decorate the tree with some african ornaments and kente cloth instead of that usual fuzz stuff. And of course lights =)

Sugah,
Habari Gani!
Habari gani is the greeting of each day and the answer is the principle for each day. Habari gani means --what is the news.
Check out the below website. It is the Official Kwanzaa site and has everything one wants to know about the holiday.

I would get black red and green kente cloth and hang it like garland around the area where you put your candles.... I would also go to TJMaxx or Ross, and sometimes Marshalls... they have nice Kwanzaa Candle holders.....

She asked a serious question in good faith and deserved better than what sounds like to me a racist remark in response, Jim W.
