The process to make more would take 8 days. The miracle was that the oil lasted for 8 days which we memorialize by lighting our own individual menorah and eating fried foods like suganiyot (donuts) and lakes (potato pancakes).

Jewish holidays fall into two catagories. Major and minor which is differentiated more by whether we follow the laws of the Shabbos (no work, no electronics...) or not ("regular" days where we do everthing).
