As an ex-Christian Canadian, I recognise the bow & garlands as a
reference to the (now secular) holiday of Christmas - but I have no idea
what the kangaroos imply! A A Milne?
Happy mid-winter festival time to all, and to all a good night!

Subject: Off-topic: Non-text localization
It isn't enough to localize text, characters sets and directionality.
Attached is part of the current Google home page in Hebrew. If one uses
culturally loaded images, one should mind what they mean in various
cultures.
The image has no meaning to me and I suppose to most Hebrew speakers,
although I can guess it has something to do with the American concept of
Christmas.
