“Btw, why don’t the people who give so many Chanuka presents to all their family members do the same on Succos and Pesach and Shavuos and give all their family members similar presents, in quantity and quality to all the same people, they do on Chanukah?”
Nope, it is because the minhag of giving gelt is a Chanukah one so with time the gelt became Presents.
BTW Im not saying we didnt copy goyim. We did! But that doesnt make it assur. Please see the Rema, alos see this quote of yours from last year:
“”This isn’t chukas akum but it certainly is in the “spirit” of it. So whilst it may not be technically assur, I wouldn’t do everything that is technically muttar.””
Care to respond to any of my questions posed throughout this thread?
Ive posed several. I assume you have no answer.
I have one more. Do you have any source forbidding Chanukah presents, or is it your boich sevara?
