Way off topic, your thoughts??

Ok, this morning I had the pleasure of seeing a Christmas commercial that absolutely touched my heart and I had to watch it a couple of times just for the heck of it, well after watching it, I was reading some comments on you tube about it. The commercial in question is here: Wal mart Christmas Commercial , I loved it, but as I was saying the comments really threw me off. Let me tell you what I saw in the commercial, I saw a family missing their loved one who is of fighting in the war, and the child being totally unslefish, only wished for one thing and that was a gift for his dad who is over there, the soldiers were all getting snow for Christmas. I saw that as touching, and felt the commercial was in good taste, and didn't find it at all as advertising or trying to get people to shop at Wal Mart, other than seeing that Wal Mart made the ad and said thank you, that was it. So the comments left by people were downright nasty! Not fit to print here for you to see at all! So if you all watch the commercial over on youtube, then please leave me your comments about here, as I'm interested to know how you see it. Is it offensive or is it heartwarming? To me it is heartwarming and a reminder to all of us that during the holidays we need to keep each and every one of our service men and women in our thoughts because they won't be home for Christmas, they'll be there and we'll all be missing them. Don't even get me started about the word Christmas either, to me and my familt it will ALWAYS be Christmas, and I'll say Merry Christmas and have a Christmas tree, and Christmas Cards, no matter who it offends that I say it! The world is too politically correct these days, and when I was a kid we never had these issues! Ok, off my soap box and off to go address my Christmas cards, lol leave your thoughts, I'm all ears, lol.
