Dear Ebenezer Google,
While I know you are busy pouring over your ledgers, summing up all your ill begotten gains of this year, derived from the confused and bewildered advertiser and publishers of this world.
I hope that you might take a minute to read a missive of good cheer this Holiday Season.
Please put another lump of coal on the grate and pull your candle closer so you might better read this festive note.
Now Ebenezer I know this time of year normally evokes a Bah...Humbug! from you, but please refrain while we look at your many blessings of this year.
You have traversed this world and planted your flag in many strange and mysterious lands.
You have taken many lesser enterprises under your sheltering protection to better nurture them.
You have met and mingled with different native cultures on which many you have placed the yoke of your employment.
You have consorted with Potentates and Grand Poobahs, while holding yourself aloof and apart as is befitting of the extremely wealthy and the important.
You have earned substantial monies most of which you shall retain, some to be distributed to those who hold stakes in your enterprise, some to the faceless, nameless who toil ceaselessly in your endeavors. The remaining pittances to be spread among those of us who are the underpinnings of your whole universe.
So Ebenezer be of Good Cheer! Let the Bob Cratchits of your employ have the whole day off. Of course after making them all promise to be in all that much earlier the following day!
From all of us who have tied our boats to your ship, we wish you a...
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!
...and as Tiny Tim exclaimed...God Bless Us, Ever One!...KF
With Apologies to Dickens
No, I bet Dickens would be proud of you. :)
Let the Bob Cratchits of your employ have the whole day off.
Monseigneur King_Fisher,
BAH! Then let them get on with it, and increase the supplemental index population!
