I think the whole tradition started in 1886 or something. Some advertising firm and Hallmark? came up with the whole promo campaign like tree lighting, card giving etc.
Anyways, depending on where you live, there's tons and tons (no really) of Hannukah sales. There's a huge Menorah at the intersection across from Starbucks. Speaking of which, they have a Hannukah section in their store too. Same as Petco.
I guess the only religion were "celebrating" is really is worshipping the almighty dollar! (lol)
In God we trust...
