I don't think any place closes for Hanukah because its a minor Jewish FESTIVAL. You celebrate after work/school. But places would close for Yom Kippur/Rosh Hashana. Sorry, big pet peeve of mine...people thinking Hannukah is the big Jewish holiday just because it falls near Christmas.
But as far as this thread....I think you're being a bit ridiculous. Its a day off from school (well I'm still on Winter break for the next two weeks) so whatever. That's cool. My dad gets to chill at home with us. MLK did quite a lot...as a white, Jewish American I find it almost insulting that you get TOed that everything closes. Give the black people some respect. White Christians have had it for long enough. Please stop whining when something little happens to you when the Jews and blacks and everyone else have gone through so much more than your people ever will. kthanksbye
