Maybe put a menorah in the window but with all the candles lit instead of one night at a time. Maybe in that way you could celebrate the original meaning of the season, the celebration of the return of light to world after the Winter Solstice, which is the longest night of the world. It's all about the light! ;-)

Well, Hanukkah and Christmas are two different holidays that mean two very different things to the people who celebrate them. So incorporating Hanukkah traditions into your Christmas celebration would not make a lot of sense.
I'd say, if you celebrate Christmas, just stick with that.
Peace

hannukah has nothing to do with xmas- it is a holiday to celebrate a miracle that GOD made happen which was that after out temple was destroyed, GOD made oil last for 8 days instead of one so thats why we light a menora and we add one candle every day to remind us of the miracle.
