A few years ago I wrote a story using its predictive ability. I decided to try it again with a Christmas theme and the results are set forth below. Here&#8217;s how it works: I fed it the first four words of each sentence followed by an asterisk (e.g. Santa Claus is coming *). The Ngram Viewer responds with the most frequent words to follow that phrase in the millions of books it has scanned. I add the most frequent one to the end and remove the one at the beginning and repeat. So each word is produced by the previous four words. I rather arbitrarily chose where to stop and place a period so as to make a full sentence. So here&#8217;s the result.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year and many of them are not even aware of the existence of the world.
