all purpose card

I got this last year and wanted to share it with you folks.

I was about to point out it was missing Channukah, but it’s got a little star of David on the pumpkin, so…

Where’s Kwanzaa? :laughing:

And it doesn’t have Festivus either! :smiley:

What’s the symbol for Kwanzaa anyway? Is it different colored candles?

I think this was designed before Kwanzaa really took off.

The Festivus Pole.

Thank you Lambchop. I didn’t realize they had so many symbols. Spokane is not the most diverse town in the world.

Isn’t Kwaanza like Sweetest Day, a recent product of the card companies?

It was never intended to be more than a family celebration. The gifts, for example, are supposed to be handmade. But you know how Hallmark et al. takes a festival and runs with it.

What always irritates me is that it’s increasingly presented as an “alternative” to Christmas. Kwanzaa is a cultural festival…not a religious one. Observing one doesn’t preclude observing the other.

Where are the Wiccan symbols?

Didn’t pretty much every later religion take over the Wiccan symbols and claim them for their own?

Festivus for the rest of us!

Wouldn’t you need the dude on the photo to be arm wrestling to include Festivus?

There are many different Wiccan symbols, but here’s one that’s quite useful:

It’s the “Triple Goddess” (representing daughter/mother/crone, I think). It’s also a handy reminder of how to determine whether the moon is waxing (left side of symbol) or waning (right side). :slight_smile:

Pretty much.

Maiden/Mother/Crone… representing the phases of the moon. :wink:
