Once again, huh?
If you truly think
that answer is so utterly beyond the pale, go ahead and report my post.

Jon knows very well indeed what Hannukah is, he might know it better than you do.

Maybe he very well knows it. Maybe he knows it well.
I doubt you have valid grounds for supposing he knows it "better than I do" -- I don't generally rank my knowledge of Jewish paraphernalia against other Jews, but content myself with knowing it "pretty darn well".
Shkoyach on getting in, um, some sort of dig at my vs. JSWolf's comparative Jewish educations?

He is right in implying that Hannukah, as any other festive day, whether in the jewish or gentile calendar, is used for marketing and promotion theses days.

Marketing and promotion by who? And for what end?

I know enough families with kids exchanging presents on Hannukah (and again at Xmas, and again on Reyes. There you are.).

You want to tell me that families celebrate both Chanukah
and Christmas and Reyes, and that I should count them as celebrating my holiday?
At least people who celebrate Christmas (with gift-giving no less) are genuinely celebrating their holiday. When they start nicking other religions' holidays and celebrating both, my oh my, what overwhelming yashrus.
They would be just as happy celebrating the secular opportunity of exchanging gifts at any time of the year.
So... crass commercialism at its finest. Darn! I guess you were right after all!
BUT ANYWAY.
I doubt they will buy a Kindle at Chanukah and then another of the exact same model a month later at Christmas, for the same person.
So Amazon might as well save the buzz for the Christmas buying season.
