I saw this commercial an few days ago and I searched for it. This commercial is from Meijer’s 2016 Christmas campaign. In 2016, I was still working and I did not have time to sit around and watch the Hallmark channel all day like I do now. 2016 was my final Christmas that I worked.
When I searched for this commercial, I watched the entire 1:31 commercial. Six years after this commercial was made, it was a truncated version and just the little boy giving Santa the cookie. The 1:31 version was totally worth it!!!
There is some serious power when it comes to Seeing Santa! I was not embarrassed AT ALL when I waved to Santa at Fairlane mall when I was working there and he was setting up. I was 16 and I waved like a child! But then again, I was 33 because Sean was 14.
We were getting our annual Christmas picture at Southland mall. That was our last family picture because Sean was in eighth grade. We did not take pictures when he was. in high school. I watched this commercial (and cried) as I posted this post:
