Now that the holidays are behind us I’d like to take a step back and showcase some humorous, artsy, googlish things uncovered in December at Google.com.  We are all familiar with the special occassion logos Google is now famous for and which Yahoo, Ask, MSN all copy but what about regular search results.  Did you get a chance to search the December seasonal keywords at all?

Christmas:

Searching on the term "Christmas"

How about Hanukkah?:

Google Results for Hanukkah....how sweet.

Kwanzaa:

Kwanzaa and Google

Now the humor comes from the fact that nothing was overlooked, not even the all important FESTIVUS (thank you Seinfeld)

Festivus is also taken care of by Google

Just when you thought Google couldn’t be any better they add a little something to the search results for the holiday season.  Now I have no idea what the added “features” did to Click-Thru-Rates (CTR) for advertisers on those terms or if many people noticed the aluminum pole, candy cane or candles but at least someone at Google still has fun with the search results and the fact that Google gets to do whatever they want with their product.  Happy Holidays and here’s to a successful and enjoyable 2009!
