Google on Tuesday marked Christmas Eve with one of its patented doodles, but made its greeting a non-denominational one.
Visitors to Google's home page (www.google.com) were greeted with the doodle of a horse pulling a sleigh in winter, along with the word "GOOGLE."
Hovering the pointer over the doodle will reveal the greeting, "Happy Holidays from Google," and clicking on it will take the visitor to a search results page for "Happy Holidays."
A separate article on The Independent said the doodle marks a "non-religious" Dec. 24 and avoids any mention of the word Christmas.
Rare Global Doodle
The Independent added the doodle is a "relatively rare" global doodle, which will be seen worldwide on Dec. 24.
"By linking the day to the phrase 'Happy holidays,' Google gives a nod to a worldwide debate – how important a part of Christmas is Christianity?" it added.
But it added that while the world settles down to enjoy the holidays, Google hopes everyone "can take comfort in its all-encompassing, nondenominational greeting." — TJD, GMA News
