Google's Festive Decorations



Google shows a lot of festive doodles, Easter Eggs and special decoration. Here are some of them:



- The Thanksgiving doodle is actually a video






Here's the video:






"Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year."



- Mr. Jingles is hungry






Here's the animation:






- Hanukkah search results






"Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights and Feast of Dedication, is an eight-day Jewish holiday."



- Festivus search results include the aluminum Festivus pole






"Festivus, a well-celebrated parody, has become a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 which serves as an alternative to participating in the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas and holiday season. Originally a family tradition of a scriptwriter working on the American sitcom Seinfeld, the holiday entered popular culture after it was made the focus of a 1997 episode of the program."



As Google says, "it's all about Thanksgivukkah in 2013. This overlap of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah won't happen again for another 70,000+ years, making it a once-in-a-lifetime event".



Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Holidays!



{ Thanks, Mukil and Emanuele. }
