Insights from Googlers into our products, technology, and the Google culture
'tis the season
December 21, 2007
Posted by David Griswold, Google Blog Team
The holiday season is a time for reuniting with friends and family, reveling in
stories
and sentimentalities, cozying up to a cup of warm cocoa, listening to a fire slowly pop and fizzle. It's a time when we ease ourselves out of our
routines
, and have a moment to share our joys with those who are nearest to us. And the season affords us a unique opportunity to step back and empathize with people who face hardships
throughout the world
.
This season, Googlers everywhere are not only celebrating the joys of the holidays; quite a few of us have joined together to give back to our
local communities
. Whether it's helping kids craft public service announcements, contributing to
toy drives
, gathering donations for food banks, working with high schoolers on their college apps, writing get-well cards for sick children, or pitting teams of chefs against one another for charity, Googlers have made it a point to get creative.
We've assembled pictures from these events in this album, and encourage you
to find a way
to give back in your own community.
