Some criticize Kwanzaa as being a secular celebration, a major purpose of which is to detract from the religious meaning of Christmas and Hanukkah. One article questions why Dr. Karenga popularized Kwanzaa in winter if it is a harvest festival, the proper celebration time of which is fall. <ref>

Some criticize Kwanzaa as being a [[secular]] celebration, a major purpose of which is to detract from the [[religious]] meaning of [[Christmas]] and [[Hanukkah]]. One article questions why Dr. Karenga popularized Kwanzaa in winter if it is a harvest festival, the proper celebration time of which is Fall. Some people use the proximity of Kwanzaa to Christmas as an excuse to replace the greeting of "Merry Christmas" with the atheist-inspired "Happy Holidays". <ref>
