Hanukkah

A wonderful eight night Jewish holiday celebrating the Maccabees victory over the Greco-Syrian forces and the miracle of oil burning for eight days when their was only enough oil to last for one. Its not the Jewish Christmas and it is extremely fun.

Menorah's, dreidels and latkes are popular symbols of Hanukkah but its much deeper than that.
Most of the definitions of Hanukkah on Urban Dictionary are offensive and untrue :)

hanuri

The finnish word "hanuri" means both, an asshole and an instrument called accordion. There's also the word "hanuristi", which implicates the person who is playing the accordion WHILE being an asshole.
"Hanuri on väärin!" - "The asshole/accordion is wrong!" (You could find this useful while there are people playing the accordion beside you)

Hanukkah

An low-key but awesome Jewish holiday. Its not all about material objects and commercialism like Christmas.

Hanukkah

The best of the minor Jewish holiday! Features delicious latkes and often cheese and wine, dreidel games, the story of the Maccabees victory over the Greco-Syrians, a festival lights and a beautiful menorah, the story of the badass biblical heroine Judith.

Whoever wrote the first two answers are clearly self-hating secular Jews with no attachment to their culture or religion. If they Hanukkah so much then they should just convert and celebrate Christmas.
Real Jewish person - Hanukkah is a beautiful religious and cultural holiday

Fake Jewish person - I'd rather celebrate Christmas

I think Christmas is a beautiful holiday and have nothing against it, but its not something that Jews should partake in.
