Hanukkah is a National holiday in Israel, celebrated by about 6 million people. Christmas is only observed in private, by the tiny Christian minority of about 140,000 people.

Also, Christian tourists often visit bethlehem during Christmas in large numbers, but bethlehem is in the Palestinian Territories.
