Sorry it was meant for Liveright (Thogh you agreed so feel free to answer too)
s/he said “did you guys all know that we celebrate Hannukah to commemorate the strength and bravery of the Maccabim???? that’s what they’ve been saying on the news. so if you agree, go talk to a rabbi. whos Orthodox”
To which I replied:
I did know that; it is a beferish Rambam. See the very first 3 halachos on chanuka. Why, did you have another more “correct” celebration in mind that isnt mentioned in the Gemara or Rishonim?
