It's not so much longer than yours, especially if you pull out the double
arrows. :) (only two syllables more than yours if I'm reading correctly).
And anyway, with circumlocution comes the joy of listening to yourself talk,
a Géarthçins fixation. So, in Géarthnuns, the longer the better.

a Hannukah-nom beautiful-nom present you-dat/pl be

As we've mentioned in earlier postings, this kind of sentiment could be
truncated, depending on whom one was talking to:

(Söi) Rhanakats Techetneket!
(a) Hannukah-nom beautiful-nom

As I was extending the greeting to the list (a whole bunch of people I've
never met personally), I went for the fullest, most polite form.

Chí ngaibeçöls sírfíl löt nsaibeth. (The first candle has been lit)
