I have just received an e-mail from Google, with a Christmas gift:
Hello,
As we near the end of the year, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for the time, energy, commitment, and trust you’ve shared with us in 2009.
With sharing in mind, this year we’ve decided to do something a little different. We hope you’ll find it fits the spirit of the Christmas season.
We’re looking forward to working with you to build lasting success in 2010.
With best wishes for Christmas and the New Year,
Your Google Team
