Every year I like to cover how I spot Googlers, like John Mueller, but yes others, working and communicating with the SEO community on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. This year is no different, with John Mueller, Martin Splitt and even Gary Illyes responding to the SEO community during the holidays.
John Mueller specifically has done this since at least 2007, so seventeen-years and counting, and has done it again this Christmas.
Here are the previous years of John offering support on Christmas. He did it last year in 2023, 2022, then in 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, and 2007.
Here are some examples from over the Christmas holiday:
