Someone PM'd me to say that Hanukkah is not a time of thanksgiving. Since I am not Jewish, I am not an authority. And so, I offer this quote:
"Saul Rube, Hillel's dean of Judaic studies, said the light-hearted combinations of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah icons underscore a deeper bond: The Talmud, one of Judaism's core texts, describes Hanukkah as a 'holiday of thanksgiving'."
