I'm not Jewish, so I don't go through the traditional way of celebrating Hanukkah. There are no menorahs, or eight days of gift giving, no dreidel spinning, no lighting the hanukkiyah, or anything else related to Jewish holiday customs. For me, it only makes sense that I follow the traditional customs of the things that I believe in. Other people, that's their own choice. Since Christmas has been warped by the media and diluted to nothing but presents and major sales, the meaning of the holiday isn't as strong as it once was. But traditionally, Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus. It doesn't matter that the dates don't match up; it's just the celebration of his birth and the time that people choose to celebrate it. If people who do not believe in him choose to celebrate his birth, then that's their own choice. But it’s ironic for the ones who are so against Christ, yet celebrate Christmas.
