For starters I'll give you the little history I know about hanukah. The maccabees (aka jews) were attacked by someone and they killed them all. Atta boy, maccabees.
The other, is that they had no oil but they used it anyways and it lasted 8 WHOLE NIGHTS. Damn. That's significant... I think?
So I guess the part that draws me to having little faith in it is that over the years it involved into this weird holiday with the unexplainable traditions. Similar to Christmas.
No, we don't have a hanukah bunny or anything ridiculous like that, but we have horrid food to celebrate with! Latkes. Yum. Crispy potatoes thing mashed up and burnt, a dream come true.
Dreidels that we use to take money away from each other? Wow, jewish...
Menorah that we are REQUIRED to use. Ugh... I just don't get religions...
I could probably rant for a longggg time, but I don't want to offend anyone. I don't have any energy for amazing writing today. Just meh-ish writing. The end.
