Kwanzaa is a non-denominational African American holiday in which celebrants appreciate family, community and culture.
The name Kwanzaa comes from "matunda ya kwanza" which translates from Swahili as "first fruits." The seven nights of Kwanzaa correspond to seven principles and seven symbols, and each night is commemorated by a candle-lighting ceremony.
Wine Things Unlimited has created a new corkscrew, the Penguin EZ Pull Corkscrew, that solves the frustrating problem of uncorking a wine bottle. The Penguin uses a unique cylinder-and-lever patented system that will work on any bottle of wine.
All you have to do is remove the foil with the included foil cutter; next, simply place the Penguin over the top of the bottle, pull the lever down and then lift it back up to easily remove the cork from the bottle. Superhuman strength not required.
The Penguin EZ Pull Corkscrew works on natural and synthetic corks, and Wine Things Unlimited includes an extra corkscrew for replacement after you open your first 1,000 bottles.
Bone-in hams have become a family tradition for holiday tables across the country, and the presentation and flavor is unparalleled. Whether you're looking for a convenient holiday meal or a beautiful table centerpiece, hams are perfect for those special occasions.
Before you can purchase a holiday ham, you'll need to know how many people you will be serving.

Bin 16, a blend that is said to rival the finest single origin coffees on the market, will be available until March 2008, boasting bright, tart fruit notes and cocoa and spice aromas -- a bold and unique blend that was quite possibly the most difficult Fonte has ever created.
For troops overseas, the holidays can lonely when family and friends are thousands of miles away. Treats for Troops gives you the opportunity to send a holiday care package to a soldier from your home state. You can choose from dozens of different themes, including Thanksgiving feasts and packages that include AT&T phone cards so the soldier can call home.
Even if you don't know anyone in the service, the Foster-A-Soldier Program lets you select a soldier to sponsor -- you can see their online profile, which tells you what types of foods and supplies they need and want overseas.
Contrary to modern traditions, the pilgrims' very first feast lacked some of the foods that we've come to consider Thanksgiving staples.
