Unfortunately a lot of “minhagei Chanukah” are adopted from Christmas. There is NO mekoir anywhere in Chazal or Shulchan Aruch for Chanukah gifts. There IS a mekoir for Chanukah gelt and that where it ends. Also when one wishes Happy Chanukah that is also derived from Christmas. Do we say Happy Shavous or Happy Sukkois? There is Simcha on Yom Tov yet we don’t wish one another that way. But when it comes to Chanukah we tend to try and emulate them for some reason. Oh and I forgot to mention the group of people that are busy lighting Menorahs in public places along side the X mas tree. Why does cant Chanukah be celebrated the way Chazal instituted and why do we need to steal snip bits from them?
Just a thought
