Kwanzaa is a celebration of African American history and culture. It begins on December 26th and continues until New Year's Day, January 1st.

During the festival, a family member, usually the youngest child, lights candles in a special candleholder. Each night a candle is lit. Traditionally there are three green candles, three red candles and a central black candle. They represent the seven Kwanzaa principles(原则). The principles are believed to play a big role in building strong, successful families and neighborhoods. In the evenings, adults share stories and explain how to follow the seven principles in daily life. On the sixth day, which falls on New Year's Eve, family and friends get together to enjoy a large meal.

Kyle, a third grader, wrote this about Kwanzaa, "When we celebrate Kwanzaa, we have many people at home, light the candles, and have a nice dinner. We learn the meaning of Kwanzaa and remember family members. We say something good about them. Last year, we remembered my grandmother."

【推荐3】It is necessary to share your feelings with others. Sharing your feelings can help you to get closer to people who you care about and who care about you.

Sometimes it can be really hard to tell someone that you’re feeling sad, worried or upset. But don’t keep the feelings locked inside. If that, it can even make you fall sick!

But if you talk with someone who cares about you, like your mother or father, you will not be all alone with your problems or worries. It doesn’t mean your problems and worries go off, but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and helps you to find ways to deal with it.

If the person doesn’t understand what you mean right away, try explaining it in a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, there are many ways for you to tell your feelings. If you think you’ll have trouble saying what’s in your mind, write it down on a piece of paper.

Some children, just like some adults, are more private (不愿透露心思的) than others. That means some children will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A child doesn’t have to share every feeling he or she has, but it is important to share feelings when he or she needs help.
