I hate to say this, but Hanukkah is not a minor holiday. The reason we don't get time off is because it takes place at night after sunset. So we don't actually need the day off. And if we were to take the day off, we'd take 8 days off. Christmas is an all day type holiday. That doesn't make it any more major. But remember, just because it isn't celebrated as much by the big department stores does make Christmas any more real.
