Happy Hanukkah everyone!

Chanukkah isn’t really a big deal in Judaism. It evolved that way in America to more as a rebuttal to Christmas.
Hanukkah is more like an Independence Day than a religious oriented feast. A supposed miracle is taking by many as more important than obtaining freedom from the invader.

In the bible it is mentioned than even Jesus celebrated it, his presence at the patio of the Temple celebrating the feast of Hanukkah was the freedom of the Temple, this is to say, freedom of using the Temple and dedicate it to worship THEIR god.

But the holiday is minor enough that Jews work during it.

What do You mean minor?
Hanukah is among the few holidays like Passover and Day of Independence, during which Jews say the full Hallel. Other days when Hallel is said are Judaism's 3 main festivals.

So is Hanukah, and has been celebrated for 2,000 years before America came to be.

Other days when Hallel is said are Judaism's 3 main festivals, so is Hanuka.

It’s a minor holiday. Jews work. Minor. No big deal.

Work is exactly what is being celebrated here, and active redemption.
The celebration is of the miracle that accompanied the return of the work in the Temple.
