Someone told me that 'Happy Hanukka' is not a kosher greeting since it is following the laws of the non-Jews... (and there is no mitzvah to have a meal on Hanukka as on Purim (some say because many Jews died in the war).
What is the history of the greeting 'Happy Hanukka'?
When was it first used?
Is there a proof that it is a kosher greeting/wish?
(The question is not regarding the English word but the idea of happiness in the context of the holiday.)
