Rich, do you have any insight into this issue ...
Was there any gift-giving associated with Chanukah before, say, about the 1940s (just guessing at time of culture change)? What do presents have to do with the bottle of oil lasting 8 days, anyway? Do modern Hasids exchange gifts during Chanukah, or do they just do the prayers over the candles?
