Oh, they’ll have a few sticks of holly and a Santa and maybe a baby Algore, lying in a manger.

They will probably recognize Christmas, since it has become so secularized; but it will definitely not have any context with Christ. Maybe a picture of Rudolph or Santa. The Google logo pictures and who they honor reveal much about the individuals behind the company.

I see this sort of question every religious holiday and always have the same response: WHO CARES WHAT GOOGLE “THINKS”?

By even asking a question like this you give them way too much credibility and much more importance than they deserve.

They’re a business, and they can do what they want. And you’ll have a much merrier Christmas if you don’t worry about what Google “thinks.”

Merry Christmas!

Do they ever post “doodles” for religious holidays?

Freeper, please! Google will go out of their way to note anything but Christmas.

I don’t get my validation from Google, so I don’t care.

I don’t choose a search engine based on a logo.

I don’t choose a car dealership based on the color of the building.

Get rid of Google products in your life, the company is evil.

Yes, it’s ridiculous. Google goes out of its way to dismiss the culture of most Americans. And as I recall they seem to put a lot of emphasis on minority cultures.

And I think it’s valuable to show our dissatisfaction with these IT giants who have so much subtle but profound influence over how we think about ourselves and our culture.

I CARE what Google does. We care about how restaurants and retail stores treat us. And I am their customer and I’d like to see them be better citizens. And it extends far more than a token Christmas picture on December 25th — but even that little thing would be appreciated.

Glorify our mainstream culture every once in a while, Google! It doesn’t cost you anything.

I understand these IT giants are free enterprises, but our government has also bent over backwards to give these internet firms special benefits, such as lower taxes.

It’s very similar to Ford sending jobs to Mexico. There’s no law against it, but there’s nothing wrong with complaining about it. We might save a few American jobs.

And if enough of us complain, these monopolists might feel the pain in their stock price.

Can’t wait for Trump or Cruz to get in office. Maybe then, we can start addressing some of the privacy issues these firms like to trample on.

Google I don’t care so much about. What really pees me off is the toddler shows. I saw a bubble guppies episode with my daughter that had a holiday with decorated trees and presents and they called it some stupid name. I realize they shouldn’t put religious themes into shows for preschoolers, but why not just call it Christmas and be done with it? I remember Blues Clues back in the 90s called it Present Day. Ugh!!!!!

They generally go Happy Holidays. Of course the bigger question is: why should it bother you? Really we’re over a week out and your panties are already in a twist about something that will have less than zero impact on your life.

Based on their secular Happy Holidays doodles for the past 16 years, I see no reason to think Google would change their doodle policy at this point.
