I love Hanukkah though
Is Hanukkah a "biblical" holiday? Or a traditional holiday? I don't know much about all this, I just can't remember if I ever read anything in the Word about that specific holiday...

Shabat Shalom:
I humbly disagree, In the gospel of John, Chapter 10, verse 22 [HNV]:
The events remembered are in the "intertestimental" period, approximately 165 BCE (this is by my sometimes faulty memory).
The verse in John is often rendered "Feast of the Dedication" for the rededication of the temple after the desecration by the Asyrians.
Todah,

Actually, it just depends on how you define "traditional." In this case, I'm using it in the sense that the observance of Chanukkah isn't explicitly commanded in the Torah. Yeshua didn't view all tradition as bad, as can be seen in the scripture you quoted.

The only time it is recorded in the scriptures that I know of is in that verse. The apocryphal books of the Maccabees are thought to be largely historically accurate, though not scripture. Did we answer the question?

John 10:22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
This is the only reference to Chanukkah (Feast of Dedication) in the Gospels.
Did Yahshua keep this 'traditional' feast?
I seems that way....as He went to the temple on that particular occasion.

Just for curiousity sake, the haftorah portions read during the first and second shabbat of Channukah are Zechariah 2:14-4:7 aka 2:10-4:17 and 1 Kings 7:40-50, The BH/NT portion is John 10:22-39
