“To the best of my knowledge, Santa Claus and Google
have never been seen in the same room. Coincidence? I think not.

“If you deconstruct the Santa Claus tradition, you’ll see that
it mirrors the Google reality. That’s right. Google is Santa
Claus!

“Consider that both Santa Claus and Google:

“• Deliver free “toys” to almost everyone around the
world.

“There aren’t many individuals, companies or organizations that
simply give away a huge variety of free stuff. Santa Claus and
Google are on the short list.

“Of course, Google is advertiser supported. Santa Claus’s
organization, on the other hand, is not publicly traded, so we
really don’t know where his revenue comes in.

“He somehow pays for a big house and factory, feeds a lot of
reindeer and elves, and still manages to dress himself in fancy red
clothes. He’s getting money from somewhere.”
