Did Google forget it's Hanukkah?
 

Google is my home page and it seems every other day, they've got some special treatment for the logo and certainly do on holidays. Today is the first day of Hanukkah and it's the standard google logo. Seems odd.

Anyway, Happy Hanukkah!

Can't offend anyone Shaun, God forbid a touchy Muslim sees a dradle and goes all Jihad on Google HQ. Happy Hanukkah!

Not only the start of Hanukkah, but also Dec 7, a date which will live in infamy. Within about 1/4 mile of me is the AIG building. There's a HUGE flag on top of the building and it's flying at half mast today. It took a second for my brain to realize why.

It is very surprising that Google isn't doing anything for either one or somehow, both.

Well, then the Google logo would be showing several thousands of items every day, because they would need to cover every important holiday or the like, who will decide which one is more important then another?
Be happy on the occasions when they have a new funny and interesting logo. No need for that every day IMHO.

I like to get surprised, I dont expect them to cover all days important to me.

Haanukkah and December 7 are both pretty big. It is probably because Google is evil.

^v
That. They cover some crazy stuff, both Hannukah and Dec 7 are the kinds of thing that they usually cover.

Based on a quick google search. I found a couple of websites that say that Hannukah started yesterday, not today. I didn't look at it's logo yesterday. Maybe the OP is just a day off.

Per the Internet, Hannukah started yesterday. I'm not Jewish or that familiar with the details of Hannukah, so I've got to go with that. Are you maybe a day late, Shaun?

I posted yesterday.

I'm not Jewish either but went to Brandeis, still have a lot of friends from college who have bestowed honorary Jew status upon me as "a real mensch."

We were talking about it last night.

It's funny - years ago Google used to only do this for occasional events, major holidays and the occasional odd one or semi-obscure anniversary date. Made it interesting. I used to actually save the images as kind of a hobby, then it kinda jumped the shark and they started doing silly animations and stuff for every single day it seemed like - now it's not special at all. It's more annoying than anything. Oh well - "too much of a good thing"...

So you did. Duh. I guess I need to pay better attention.

Still, weird that Google skipped it.

Archives of their Doodles. You can see what they did last year as well.

Hanukkah started last night. (Sunday night). Goes on for 8 nights.

She's my wife's favorite singer!
No, wait... that's Chaka Khan.

Where's that Adam Sandler song when you need it?

Second post last night.

Just saw the link - no idea what it was so no clicky. Thx & Happy Hanaukah!

Sorry, I can't figure out how to embed the video from my phone. Normally I would not just post the link.

You are a righteous pagan goyim. That's it. Went through the Shaker Heights vetting process for non Jews by Mom and Dad and brother. I passed but bailed.

See 1:45 in. This chick has no boundaries. Very funny.

Would pet.

Maybe Google is part of the 99% anti-semantic group.
