I heard 讘砖诐 专 讬讜住祝 讟谞讚诇专 讝爪”诇 that after the 谞住 of Chanukah the children of most of klal Yisrael weren’t used to learning and had to be bribed with money to do so (and the fact that we can get them to learn, even if it is through bribery, is part of the simcha, and the fact that we’ll pay money for this shows them how choshuv it is).
I have no idea where he got this from, though.
