Christmas is to celebrate the birth of the guy Christians think is the messiah. although it's gone way beyond that and is celebrated by people who aren't even remotely religious.
Hanukkah's more to celebrate a small miracle and the fact that a bunch of Jewish people kicked butt almost 2000 years ago. It's only really celebrated by Jewish people, and is eight days long instead of one.
