Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus and lasts for 1 day.
Hanukkah is an 8 day Jewish holiday that celebrates a military victory against invaders who attempted to force our assimilation to paganism. It also celebrates the rededication of our Temple after those invaders were defeated.
There is no tradition of gift giving during Hanukkah although a large percentage of North American Jews do give gifts of some sort these days.
