Ask me about latkes in early March 2012 and I’ll respond “feh.” Ask me today and I’ll say “you got some apple sauce to go with?” It’s all about the timing. [I love the Chicago debates.]
Sisyphos: Daylight on the 27th is the seventh day this year; the eighth day begins at sundown.
Now, about the theme. While I appreciate that we’re seeing something about a Jewish family, Hanukkah is not a major holiday, it’s the commemoration of a historic event to which customs and traditions have been added. If we’ll see Sam turn down something leavened during Passover, if we’ll see him not be at work on Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur, then we’ll be seeing something. Right now, all I’m seeing is a fairly typical misunderstanding of a minor festival.

Sorry about raining on the parade.
