No, but Hannukah and Christmas are clearly different holidays.

Mr. Roach's flippant answer not withstanding, it is not at all clear whether they are one or two. I have the misfortune of having two ex wives, and the good fortune to have a great son with each of them. Due to the differing family traditions among the three families, Christmas Eve and Christmas are treated as one holiday for one child and two for the other. One child is with me on Christmas Eve and Christmas day until the afternoon, every other year. The other is with his Mom for Christmas Eve since that's the big event in her family, and comes to my house at the end of the night to spend Christmas Day with me. The point being, you need a clearer order.
