That's not bad

I guess the real question is 15% of what? If you're a VP or above that's actually pretty pricy!

Yeah, if I crunch the numbers, it's probably a bit more than that. I'm pretty good at saving throughout the year though, so I don't feel too bad.

Or a lot of kids

Ah, the joys of being Jewish

^^^ i thought Hanukkah was like Christmas only spread over several days.

Not really- some people do that but that's a recent tradition because of Christmas. Actual Hanukkah is generally smaller stuff, and even if you do buy gifts you don't buy for everyone like people for Christmas do.

Are there any gift oriented holidays for those who don't celebrate christmas? I'm atheist so it's a commercial holiday for us. But I don't know what the deal is with Judaism/Islam/etc.

You could be Jehovahs Witness with that outlook. My friends who are JWs took advantage of the sales this time of year.
