Why not come out and say "Merry Christmas"? It IS after all, Christmas day for hundreds of millions. If it were any other holiday Google would have been much more explicit. This is sad. The tail really does wag the dog on Google.

"'Tis the season," "Merry Christmas," Happy holidays," Happy birthday, Jesus," "Happy birthday, Santa Claus"....Does it really matter what a little hover box on a Google doodle says?
