Beis Hillel and not Beis Shamai (5777/2016)

Two reasons: 1) In the pre-Moshiach world only actual things matter not potential, not-withstanding the great advantage of the potential over the actual. 2) We follow Beis Hillel who connects it to מעלין בקדש ולא מורידין rather than to פרי החג. All eight days of Chanuka have nothing tot do with Goyim!
