Yea, it holds value but for the wrong reasons. You can't take Kwanzaa and Christmas and call them equal holidays. Kwanzaa was created to celebrate the harvest, which is Thanksgiving, why couldn't they celebrate Thanksgiving? and if this holiday was not meant to be equivelant to Christmas, then why does it fall around the same time of the year? There is no new harvest around this time. It was created so they had their own holiday, it's as simple as that.
