during kwanzaa, families also decorate their households with objects of art. they use colorful african cloth such as kente, especially the wearing of kaftans by women. fresh fruits that represent african idealism are also used. it is normal to include children in kwanzaa ceremonies and to give respect and gratitude to ancestors. libations are shared, generally with a common chalice ("a shared cup"), "kikombe cha umoja", passed around to all people present. a kwanzaa ceremony may include drumming and musical selections, libations, a reading of the african pledge and the principles of blackness, reflection on the pan-african colors, a discussion of the african principle of the day or a chapter in african history, a candle-lighting ritual, artistic performance, and, finally, a feast (karamu). the greeting for each day of kwanzaa is "habari gani?" which is swahili for "what's the news?"
