Haha, talk with any Jewish kid and compare what you got and you will see that seven days of presents is a SERIOUS misconception. While the Chrismas parents are giving their kids 6 ponies, SIX, the Hanachanacha kids are getting erasers, and notebooks, and pencils, and it's a frickin' back to school holiday! Not only that, look at any neighboring house with the candles being lit on the manora or whatever that thing is called. After 3 days it's like "okay enough is enough". Let's not forget that with the 7 days thing comes a sad realization, that's 7 presents total because that's all they get each day. Compare that to most kids getting like 10 presents to 15 on Christmas day, and good ones that aren't utilitarian in the slightest, and you see that it's all just a sham.
In conclusion, it's a fact. Christmas is great, Hannakah SUCKS!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
