Do you have a favorite Christmas commercial?
For years the Budweiser "I'll be home for Christmas" horse-drawn sleigh always stopped me dead in my tracks to watch it and brought a tear to my eye.

I miss Christmas with family.


:cry:

2. That one!
It's a classic.

Does it still get played? It's been some time since I've seen it.

13. I don't think I saw it last year. Just the first piano tinkling sounds of
"I'll be home for Christmas" would have me racing through the house to watch it.

waahhhhhhhh.

The Budweiser horses always makes me nostalgic, however.

17. Publix has one down here that shows a palm tree
with Christmas lights on a little island.

I also love the Bud horses. They visit Tallahassee regularly and stay at a farm down the street. BIG DUDES!

18. Any of the commercials with families coming together
My family's all over the world, not just all over the states. We only see each other rarely and I miss a big houseful of people all talking at once. It's just me and my daughter, so it's just too quiet now.

I love the Clydesdales and the old Oreo commercials with Santa. Oh, and the Coca-Cola trucks driving through town and the all the holiday lights come on as they pass...

Love the holidays and hate the holidays at the same time.

and the kids are watching from the window.

I haven't seen that one in a couple of years. Did they finally retire it?

33. Staples
where the kids is peeking in the keyhole at Mom wrapping gifts and Dad catches him. Dad ends up peeking too and gets squirted in the eye with a water pistol and the kid just says "busted".
