Gift Giving
Where did the concept of gift giving on Chanukah originate?
Did we get the idea from THEM? Or did they get the idea from us?
The fact that the two gift giving "holidays" occur at the same time of year, makes it fairly obvious that one got the idea from the other. The question is which way did it go?
I don't think the gift giving is intrinsic to either holiday, so if anybody has insight, please let me know.
