The holiday season continues today with the start of Kwanzaa.
The non-religious, seven-day holiday is meant to honor African-American heritage and culture.
The tradition was created by a California University professor in 1966. It begins on December 26th and ends January 1st.
The holiday is not widely celebrated, according to a 2012 Public Policy Polling poll, which found that just four percent of Americans primarily celebrate Kwanzaa.
That number is just one percent more than those who answered that the holiday they primarily celebrate is Festivus, a holiday invented by George Costanza from the television show Seinfeld.
Kwanzaa is based on year-end harvest festivals that occurred in Africa for thousands of years and the name "Kwanzaa" is derived from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza," which translates to "first fruits of the harvest."
