It's a very minor holiday, but people blow it out of proportion because of its proximity to Christmas.
Also, never underestimate the power of Jews to come up with a holiday in which we have to eat a scrumptious food to "remember". Latkes are the real reason that holiday stays afloat (they're fried in oil, oil relating to the miracle, har-dee-har-har). I'm making some tomorrow. Wanna come over?
Don't analyze the bullshit, just understand the formula that pretty much all Jewish holidays follow: Someone oppressed us (allegedly in some cases), somehow we overcame it, OKAY LET'S EAT!! Stick with the eating part.
