Happy Holidays from Google

Happy Holidays from Google

This year, Google did something a little differently for the holidays. They typically have a fun little logo and it points to a Google search. This year, they are pointing to a few different logos, not a search.
Here’s what they look like.

No Celebration for President’s Day in the US

This is something I actually find a little odd. They celebrate artists, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Holloween, and everything else under the sky, but Google is not celebrating the day of all our past presidents.
