The commercial is to...I'm with you 100% Lynne. The commercial is touching and, I think, in good taste. Not only does it remind us to think of our military who safeguard our freedom; it also reminds us that the heart of Christmas is Love! God's love for us in the gift of Jesus Christ, and our love for one another demonstrated by the little girl.<br /><br />Sam Walden was a businessman, that's for sure, and a smart one. However, one thing he and his wife agreed upon in their endeavors was the fair treatment of their employees. When you consider this, I think we should err on the positive side and believe that this commercial was more about remembering the spirit of Christmas and acknowledging our debt to our armed forces and less a plea to shop Walmart.<br /><br />While I try to be sensitive and not offend others whose faith differs from mine, our constitution gives me the right to unashamedly acknowledge my faith as a Christian (an Episcopalian to be more precise). I don't shove my religious viewpoint down anyone's throat, and I expect the same kind of respect as simple human courtesy.<br /><br />That said, I joyfully wish each and everyone a Merry Christmas! And for those non-Christians I wish you a Peaceful New Year.SherryDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04500689291286516296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937540913958104561.post-29943586243021939702009-11-27T10:29:43.680-05:002009-11-27T10:29:43.680-05:00I hadn't seen this commercial before now.

I didn't get anything out of it other than one kid wished for something for his dad and wal mart thanking our troops. I think the people leaving nasty comments on you tube are idiots with nothing better to do than that.Melliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547214698408017845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937540913958104561.post-69329204015690172922009-11-20T04:32:46.267-05:002009-11-20T04:32:46.267-05:00What a great commercial.

Now I haven't read the comments about it on YouTube or anywhere, but a commericial is a commericial. If they are getting you to buy or not they are going to do what they feel will put their name out there and hopefully bring you into the store. That's the POINT of a commercial. Isn't that what Hallmark does? Pulls on your heart strings? I always cry at hallmark commercials around all the holidays (Christmas, mothers day, etc...yes I am a sap! lol) But no one is outraged by hallmark commercials. It's probably ONLY because it is Walmart and not Macy's! lol Hope I don't get hate mail over my post! hehehe Just my opinion!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276336614019623168noreply@blogger.com
