Looks more like an Advent wreath, since it only has 4 candles. :)

I appreciate the sentiment, but I've got to say, this is not a menorah or representative of Hanukkah.

A Menorah always has an odd number of candles, usually 7. A Hanukkihah (Menorah for Hanukkah) always has 9. A Menorah always has 1 candle separated from the rest (usually the center and usually in a strictly superior position, but that's got some variance). These have strong religious significance. This is just a candelabra.

(Hanukkah is also a minor-significance holiday that has artificially been inflated due to superficial similarities to Saturnus/Yule/Christmas. If you want to celebrate and affirm religious diversity with respect to Judaism, celebrate Rosh Hashanah and acknowledge Yom Kippur.)
