How important is Hanukkah?

Asked by AdventureElephants (1412points) December 23rd, 2015 from iPhone

My roommate plays the Jewish card when it suits her. I mentioned Hanukkah to her and she said “real” Jews don’t really make a big deal about Hanukkah, and compared it to Flag Day.

This has really gotten to me. I wanted to respond “Bitch, real Jews don’t eat bacon either, but you seem to have a daily ration.” I feel like she’s insulting her own declared religion by insulting Hanukkah, but maybe she’s right and I have no idea…

So what’s the deal? Is Hanukkah a Hallmark holiday?
