Why is Hanukkah eight days long?

This question is as old as the holiday itself… If the pure oil which was found was enough for one day, then seemingly no miracle occurred on the first day of Chanukah. Why then isn’t Chanukah celebrated for seven days — starting with the 26th of Kislev, when the miracle began?
