Hey Everyone!
During the holiday season, it is apparent that Christmas is in the forefront when it comes to observation of the holiday. Everywhere you go, you see all kinds of reminders of Christmas - foods, decorations, commercials, clothing, shopping ... even videos on social media. Sadly, that means that sometimes the other holidays and religious celebrations often take a back seat. In an attempt to bring some light to how others may celebrate within their respective beliefs, I made up a few things for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. I will admit that I don't know all the intricate details of these celebrations and their important symbols however I tried to do the best I could to at least have a few of the more well-known items represented. And yes, I know some don't have the correct count of candles. I was specific in my prompts however, it appears AI doesn't know how to count LOL A couple of them are just the menorah and loaves of bread so I guess they might also be usable for Shabbat-themed creations?
I know it may sound cliché or whatever, however, my personal view is that I don't have to understand it or follow/believe in it, agree with it - or whatever - to respect it and those who do and that's in regards to all things: their culture, their traditions, their religious/spiritual beliefs, their politics, their "history" and experiences ... whatever. It doesn't change or take away from me or the core of who/what I am and what I believe, think and/or feel to extend that respect and kindness to others. I would rather embrace the diversity as well as the similarities.
Back to the images/tubes: also, some of the images came out very nice so I also saved them in layered format (.psd) for anyone who'd like to use the full images instead of - or in addition to - the tubed versions. Because they are layered, I uploaded them to Mediafire - there will be download links for both holidays under the tubes. Heads up, because they are the full images and several layers, they are a little file-size heavy.
For those who follow these faiths, I hope I did them justice. Please know I did it with nothing except respect and I hope that, however you celebrate, may it be filled with love, joy and being surrounded by those who mean so much to you.
Al Hanisim. / Heri za Kwanzaa!
Anyway ... I hope you like them and if you use them in anything, I'd love to see.
As usual, they are in png format, so just click on it to enlarge and then "right click/save as" to your computer/device.
