In this episode, it's December 26--the day after Christmas. Kujo realizes he is late getting the community centre ready for Kwanzaa. He enlists the help of Gram, Tandeep, Jaden, resident anthropologist and culture expert, Bernard the Beaver, arts and crafts director, Teacher Madison, and amazing dancers and drummers to prepare. And there’s Kujo Vincent, Kujo’s French Canadian alter ego, who always wants to make a bit of trouble, especially with jelly beans!
Kwanzaa, a yearly African American celebration from December 26 until January 1 each year. People are invited to connect with their culture, remember ancestors and traditions. Kwanzaa is also a time to reflect on being a good person and helping others. Kujo and Tandeep discover that Kwanzaa celebrates family, friends, faith and food and is not that different from other December holidays like Christmas and Hannukah.
