And I do think it’s sad to have a holiday be about gifts. Especially when it’s supposed about celebrating something bigger. If we made Hanukkah about gifts, it would lose all its meaning and it would be a really thing. But that’s a personal opinion of mine. You’re free to disagree with it, that’s OK.

There is nothing wrong with one holiday being about gifts. Nothing at all.
