'Tis the season! says Google
in its doodle on Tuesday celebrating the start of the Christmas holiday
season. The search giant has made doodles on Christmas a tradition, and
is expected to be posting a doodle a day till after the main holiday.
Google's Christmas doodle
on Tuesday features a reindeer-driven sleigh with three child
passengers and an adult driver. The Google logo is arrayed in a banner
on top of the doodle. On rolling over the doodle with the mouse, the
message 'Tis the season! is displayed.
On clicking on Tuesday's
doodle, users are directed to a search results page for 'Tis the
season!, which features three Wikipedia entries at the forefront, one
disambiguating the phrase 'Tis the season!, the second detailing the
'Tis the season! album of Christmas songs by Olivia Newton-John and
Vince Gill, and the last an entry for the 'Tis the season! children's
novel by Ann M. Martin.
As with previous years, Google has specifically avoided references to Christmas
with its 'Tis the season! doodle on Tuesday, taking a more politically
correct approach to the holiday season and instead wishing users 'Happy
Holidays' to spread cheer to those regions or users not celebrating
Christmas.
The Google doodle archive page lists
Tuesday's 'Tis the season! doodle as Holidays 2014 (Day 1), and it is
visible across the world excepting Russia, Eastern Europe, northern
Africa, and Indonesia. The last time Google posted a doodle on December
23 was back in 2010, once again wishing users a
Merry Christmas.
