Some people automatically associate Hannukah and Christmas, because they occur at the same time of year, but in terms of similarity, passover and christmas are a much better match.

Reasons (mostly tongue in cheek) why passover is like christmas:

* It's traditionally the big family get together of the year
* The one celebration that people tend to hang on to, even if they leave the culture entirely
* It's traditionally built around a big meal
* And traditional songs
* And ritual hats
* And presents
* And crackers (well, sort of)
* Even though the original story is a bit gory
* And you put a cup of wine out for a supernatural entity who sneaks in when you're not looking and drinks it, and will decide whether everyone's been being righteous or not
