WORLD: Today's Google Doodle celebrates the fact it's Christmas Eve.
The illustration shows a winter scene, the trees bare of their leaves and snow covering the ground.
In the foreground, two children, wrapped up against the elements can be seen in an one horse open sleigh.
When you hover your cursor over the image, the message Happy Holidays appears.
Earlier this week, Google marked the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, with a Doodle. While back here in Kenya Google marked the Kenya @50 celebration by uploading a special doodle on its homepage bearing a Kenyan flag replacing the ‘o’ in the Google logo, and which was intended to commemorate Kenya’s birthday. The event was attended by more than twenty heads of states and governments.
This was the second time Google was honoring the country after ealier on uploading a special doodle on its homepage across Sub Sahara in honor of fallen Nobel laureate Prof Wangari Maathai by celebrating what would have been her 73rd birthday in April 2013.
