Hanukkah is all about the Maccabees, a group of Jews who freed the Jewish people from foreign domination long ago. The Jews had a Temple which the Greeks had overrun; and in rededicating it, they only had enough oil in the candelabra for one day. But, the lamps miraculously burned for eight days, which began the eight days of Hanukkah, where Jews light one candle each day to commemorate the miracle.
You don't. Christmas trees have nothing to do with Hanukkah. If you put Hanukkah-style ornaments on a Christmas tree, it will most likely offend the people you are trying to honor (even if they don't tell you that).
Hanukkah is a minor holiday that commemorates the victory of the Jews against the Syrian-Greeks in the Maccabean War of 165 BCE. The real miracle of Hanukkah is that the Jews were victorious, against all odds, they beat their enemy and were able to restore the Ancient Temple in Jerusalem, which had been desecrated by the Greeks. In a larger context, Hanukkah represents victory against religious persecution and assimilation.
