I haven't found a topic yet about christmas presents from Google, so maybe I'm the first one (Netherlands).
It's a Mood light AM/FM radio... If you rotate it, you can select: radio on/light on/both on/off.
Pretty nice, but also a bit useless.

I got mine, and I'm not in the UPS/FedEx club.... yet.
Anyone mind telling me what the UPS/Fedex club is?

People who earn more than $10,000 receive their checks through Fedex instead of normal postal services.

Yes, it used to be Fedex but Google recently changed to using UPS for the $10K+ cheques according to a recent thread by Jenstar.

It definitely not $100,000 for the year cause I make way less and I still got one.

Well I never got a gift or a card :(
I do not think my earnings are that small, so a card would have been nice :)

I think yours arrived here. I ended up with two (and on a relatively small account).

I did receive my radio in Canada (thank you Googleplex ;) ) but it did arrive after Christmas.
And yes, it is now the UPS Club :) But people earning significantly less than UPS Club earning levels also received radios.

Might be why I go one!

I changed my account to a new address and a new name a few months ago. I got a present to my old address, but nothing came for the new account. Maybe it has something to do with how long you had your account with them for. My old account is from December 2003, I think, so the lenght of time might be the case. And maybe to earn above some certain minimum.

I live in Western Canada and I received a mood light radio as well.
