I guess the whole getting gifts on Hannukah is just so kids who are Jewish don't have to feel bad when their Christian friends talk about all the cool things they got for Christmas. I've experienced Hannukah before, so the things that first come to mind for me when someone mentions it are the stories, the menorah, dreidels, and latkes. :P Oh, and on another note, I don't really think either Hannukah or Christmas is better present-wise. Yeah you get eight gifts on Hannukah, but my experience has been that you get a lot more presents than that on Christmas because of all your friends and family members. I guess it varies from family to family.
