December Global Festivities
(Google Doodle)
The festive season is here and this pair of slippery-footed siblings are excited to spend time with their warm-weather relatives! Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks to see what kind of fun this feathery family has in store.
As every year, Google is showing a series of entertaining Google Doodles over Christmas. This year the fun begins on December 18th, almost a week before Christmas Eve. This year it is about Mr. and Mrs. Pinguin, who want to spend a warm Christmas holiday....
December Global Festivities (1): Mr. and Mrs. Pinguin called uncle Toucan
It's the first Doodle in a whole series. On the first day, Mr. and Mrs. Pinguin decide to escape the cold and go on holiday with their Uncle Tukan. They pack their bags and set off.
This story will be continued in the coming days. As you can see in the Doodle, it goes first until December 25th - and then the days New Year's Eve and New Year's Day follow. One can be curious what else is coming.
December Global Festivities (3): 18. December present is open ...
Here again the interactive Doodle as video:
Interestingly, it is apparently "just" about a holiday trip, not a certain holiday, for example Christmas. Apparently, Google wants to stay out of religion as a globally operating company. In the English-speaking world, it is therefore referred to as "December Global Festivities".
The doodle appears in most countries worldwide, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Indonesia, India, France, Italy, Greece, Great Britain, Canada und the United States of America.

Why is this Doodle shown on this website?
Quite simply: this page has been relaunched, and of course it's good if some people know about it right from the start. The topic here will be "Good Vision".
At what age and with which visual acuity are varifocals useful or even necessary? For people with myopia (short-sightedness) a problem arises from a certain age: for long-distance vision they need long-distance glasses, but due to the onset of presbyopia they also need reading glasses. If you don't want to switch back and forth between two pairs of glasses, you can buy a pair of varifocals instead, with which you can see clearly and sharply at any viewing distance. But as the age-related vision system is slowly developing over many months and years, many people are asking themselves the question: when is the right time to buy these relatively expensive progressive glasses?
