"Hanukkah" started on 1 December 2010 and is only an 8-day Jewish event.

So it's very well all over by now, today being 24 December, and nothing 
to do with the Christian Christmas festive period.

The Winter/Summer Solstice was on the 22 December - 2 days ago.

As Judasim is not a Christian faith and as its adherents attend temples 
(synagogues) and not Christian churches then the term 'pagan' appears to 
be relevant.
