Actually, they are all made up holidays. Some just came along later than others.

From wikipedia
The word Christmas probably didn't come around until the 11th century, although the celebration of Christ's birth is possibly from 200 AD. The modern Christmas, with Santa Claus, probably dates closer to mid-1800's. The popularity and significance of Hanukkah, which actually dates back to the post-battle celebration about 200 B.C.E., came shortly after.

Whether you are using the term "Black" or "African American", you are referring to a group of immigrants who are distinct from all others since they were brought here as slaves. As such, in most cases they were not allowed to keep their cultures. This means that now they must either try to reacquire a culture or invent one. reacquiring a culture is difficult, since one would need to know a lot about their ancestors. Kwanzaa is an attempt to build a new culture.

Essentially it's another solstice holiday wrapped up with cultural or historical trappings. Everyone deserves one and everyone gets one. The only people who had a problem with this were a few Texaco executives.

ROBERT ULRICH: (tape comments as shown on screen) You can't just have we and them. You can't just have black jellybeans and other jellybeans. It doesn't work.
RICHARD LUNDWALL: (tape comments as shown on screen) Yeah. But they're perpetuating the black jellybeans.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: There were also what appeared to be racist remarks about Texaco employees who celebrate Kwanza, an African-American holiday.
ROBERT ULRICH: (tape comments as shown on screen) I'm still having trouble with Hanukkah. Now we have Kwanza--F--ing niggers, they have s-----d all over us with this.

Mrs Griff, you should really log in under your own name, instead of Griff's.

I set up my tripod and took this last last week in the driveway.

I did GIMP it a bit around the bottoms of the tires, and got rid of the center stand.
