We had Hanukkah long before you had Christmas. Two Centuries before in fact.

Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire of the 2nd century BCE.

Part of the Festival of Lights deals with the miracle of the oil. There was only enough to last one night in the menorah yet it lasted 8 nights.
