Gifts or Presents?

Google usage statistics:

"Christmas present" = 22.2  million            ("Xmas present" = 1.0 million)

"Christmas gift" = 64.5  million         ("Xmas gift" = 1.6 million)


"Birthday present" = 15.0  million

"Birthday gift" = 14.7  million



"Christmas haggis" =  584,000
"Christmas billy" =  27,900
"Christmas wanker" =  27,900

also:
(all counts are in millions)

"Santa"* = 1620
"Claus" = 40.2           (Since Google lumps "Clause" in with "Claus". But if it's not vice versa then
                                since"Claus" = 129.0 and "Clause" = 88.8, maybe "Claus" = ("Claus" - "Clause") = 40.2)

"Jesus" = 569
"Christ" =  363
"billy" = 303

"Jesus" + "Christ" = 932
"Santa = 1620
"Santa" + ("Claus" - "Clause") = 1660

So Santa is mentioned 728 million more times (74%) than "Jesus" + "Christ" put together.

Those "Put the 'Christ' back in 'Christmas' " people have their work cut out for them.



*
"Santa Claus" = 77.8 (but since it is counted once for "Santa" and once for "Claus" it was left out.

"Jesus Christ" = 98.5 (not counted because it is also counted once for "Jesus" and once for "Christ")
