Should a Christian like me buy my Jewish boss a Chanukah present?

100+ years ago, gift-giving at Chanukah was very minor. There were (and still are) 8 nights of lighting the candles and giving gifts to the kids, but they were generally small, inexpensive gifts. With the spread of Christmas as a secular celebration, Jewish gifts at Chanukah have come to rival the level of giving among Christians at Christmas.
It is perfectly okay, and a very nice gesture, to give your Jewish boss a Chanukah gift.

I appreciate your answer, I guess I should rephrase a bit. I always thought Chanukah gift giving was more about parents and grandparents giving the children gifts. I just wanted to know if friends/coworkers, etc give gifts to one another, and as I see from the other answers that does seem to be the case.

I don't think it's unbiblical to buy a gift for someone during Christmas just because their not a Christian haha

M$First of all, the individual is your boss. It doesn't matter if he's from the Moon and you are considering a gift of "green cheese" -- gifts to boss's always send the wrong idea: first and foremost, that you are trying to curry favor(s) in the work environment. That, my friend, is always a bad idea -- and is apt to backfire on you in numerous ways: You are labeled as the "kiss up" if the boss mentions it to another co-worker.
If you want to make brownie points with the boss, and also send a signal of appreciation -- consider taking him or her out to a "holiday lunch" somewhere locally. The nice thing about this is the "face time" you will get -- and a chance to get to know your boss better.
If you MUST give a gift, . . . then bite the bullet and give everyone in your work team/department a Holiday Card and include a $5.00 Starbucks card. That way, you are giving to your boss, but not singling him/her out.
Of course, "your mileage may vary."
BY THE WAY --> If your question is one of those "Should I as a Christian even acknowledge another religion at all? Could I conceivably be sinning by buying a gift to a religion that signifies that Jesus Christ is not the acknowledged savior of all humanity?" Well, you'll have to pray about that one my friend. No one can answer that question for you!

This very Milquetoasty answer still doesn't address the issue that this is an employee giving a gift to their boss. Uh, wasn't that part of the question??
