Are Hanukkah and Kwanzaa similar right? Do they complain that they are? I don't see any. Shouldn't the Christmas fued stop? Let the world be happy.

You're dealing with 3 very different observances. Kwanzaa has nothing to do with Hanukkah and neither has anything to do with Christmas. Hanukkah and Kwanzaa were moved to co-incide with the Christmas holidays because most of the people had time off. Regardless of whether they were Christians or not. The candles that are confusing you with Kwanzaa and Hanukkah are very different symbols. The Menorah, Hanukkah candles, represent a miracle of God. The Kwanzaa candles represent nature and light. And Christmas is the Birth of Christ. Three very different things that have little to do with each other. If it's the timing of the holidays that are causing trouble, then blame the Kwanzaa organizers and the Jewish and Christian churches. And don't blame the observances.

All holidays are good whatever they're called and should be universal in respect for other peoples religions. Incidently ,some "Christian" holidays are actually old pagan ones!
