I got a surprise in the mail yesterday. A real Christmas card from Google. Okay, it wasn’t a Christmas card, it was a “Best Wishes for 2008″ card, but nonetheless it was a card. Why was I so surprised? After all, I have given Google thousands of dollars this year. The least they can do is send me a $2 card, huh? I guess it’s a good reminder that it’s refreshing to get something in the mail besides a bill and DISH TV mailers.
