Google’s musical holiday-themed doodle for Christmas

With Christmas being yet another calendar-marking day for Google to celebrate with a Google Doodle, the occasion was rejoiced by Google with a musical holiday-themed doodle, boasting interactive flashing lights and the ‘Jingle Bells’ tune.

The Christmas Google Doodle, which the Internet search giant brought on its search page as an early present for Christmas, unfolded itself with multi-hued lights in a square shape. The Internet users’ random click on the lights replaced the six-letter word G-O-O-G-L-E with items underscoring the holiday theme.

The completion of the sequence then treated the searchers to a ‘Jingle Bells’ rendition, with each note lighting up with the click of the mouse; and a click on the page itself opened up a Google search page pertaining to the term “Happy Holidays.”

The new Google Doodle – which went live a day before Christmas – brought on some holidays-related joyfulness to the company’s otherwise stark white search page.

The design of Google’s Christmas doodle itself was notably suggestive of the radiant Lite-Brite toys, which throw up colorful lights when poked through with thick, black construction paper.

Noting that the Google doodles – which first appeared in 1998 – have, over the years, turned out be increasingly “involved and complicated,” Google Doodle team member Sophia Foster-Dimino said that the doodles have now become “more like works of art than fun gags.”
