You know jurs, I'm almost positive that the word holiday isn't from latin at all.

edit: yeah, it's from middle english. check dictionary.com or your own personal dictionary if you don't believe me. Silly goose.

Also, if a holiday has to be a holy day... then what do you call memorial day, labor day, the fourth of july, etc ?

Wrong. Latin roots say Holi=Holy, Day of course being Day. A Holy Day. I just think Kwanzaa shouldn't be grouped with Hanukkah and Christmas seeing as it isn't holy and therefore doesn't fit in with the "Winter Holidays".
I wasn't speaking in technicality. I was using common knowledge and not interpreting the actual word as a compound.

well it shoudln't be lumepd together with hanukkah and christmas like it always is... put ramadan in there if you really need a trinity.. you silly people and your trinities... I mean come on, how silly... but I digress. Kwanzaa is a holiday in the way mother's day can be a holiday. Unless Eva says otherwise to that?

I don't think there needs to be a trinity, but if you're going to group the season's holidays together then it should just be Christmas and Hanukkah...no Kwanzaa.

Just that you're a piece of shit who can't see reason and instead deserves a fucking beating.
