"Every year Google gives some of their AdWords advertisers and AdSense publishers holiday gifts.  Typically, the gifts are delivered by now - but not one advertiser or publisher have posted in a forum or on a blog about receiving a holiday gift from Google this year.A WebmasterWorld thread wonders if there will be any gifts this year or not.  This year was the \"great recession,\" but Google is clearly back in spend mode (if you watch their business activities closely, you would notice this).In the past four years, the gifts were typically received by this week.  Last year, the gifts were received by December 3, 2008, then by December 4, 2007, in November 2006, the latest was the second week of December 2005, but typically, we get them by this week in December.Do you think there will be holiday gifts from Google?  Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld.Update: Google sent out e-cards to advertisers and publishers on December 21st announcing this year's gift is $20 million donated to charity."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
