They don't blend into the same day. What if it is the same day. When it's morning, do you say, good morning? If you do, then why?

Of course they do.
Hannuka occurs according to the Hebrew calendar so it moves.
This year it overlaps Thanksgiving, hence why we are calling it Thanksgivukka.
Next year the last day falls on Christmas eve.
In 2016 it starts Christmas Eve day and runs through New Years.
In 2019 it starts on the 22nd and ends the day before New Years.
Typically it either overlaps or is right next to Christmas and New Years.
