א פרייליכן חנוכה
The Mechaber in Shulchan
Aruch (O.Ch. 670 :2)
writes, "Chanukah was
not instituted for משתה & שמחה".
The Rambam does write, that
Chanukah is ימי שמחה והלל
The Brisker Rav writes that the
Rambam meant with ימי שמחה
only to the extent that there
is no Hesped & Ta'anis but
not that there is a Chiyuv
Simcha.
According to the above, it
would not be the appropriate greeting to wish someone
"Happy Chanukah"
However according to
the Taz who quotes from the
Maharshal, the Rambam
does consider Chanuka as a
Yom Tov where משתה
& שמחה are required.
Have a joyous &
Lechtigeh Chanukah
