I'm a Jew, I got 8 days haha. On a serious note tho, people do take Christmas for granted and do not really see the religious aspect in it anymore but there is a higher majority that does than those who take Hanukkah seriously.. The problem with this holiday is that majority of people who are Jewish, do not even celebrate it except give presents and thats it. There are spiritual aspects to it but they get overlooked by many. There is alot more spiritual power to Christmas so it is harder for people to blow that aspect off.
Sorry i got on a rant there. Hope that made since.....
