Well, it’s that time of year again – the time when everyone is running from store to store and surfing from website to website trying to get their Christmas shopping finished on time.
And in case you haven’t noticed, it’s also the time of year when our TVs, computers and mobile devices are flooded with an endless stream of Christmas shopping ads.
Most of the holiday ads we see are pretty blah, but the folks at Chevrolet managed to come up with a real tear-jerker that’s quite possibly the most inspirational ad I have ever seen.
Chevy releases an ad similar to this every year, but this one from 2021 is still my favorite and I don’t think that will ever change.
To be sure, this is a secular ad. You won’t see or hear any references at all to the Biblical story of Christ’s birth, but the message conveyed is one of love, charity, sacrifice, community and joy. I have a hunch that Jesus would approve.
A shortened version of this ad aired on TV (it’s actually a commercial after all), and chances are you might have seen it. If not, you might want to have a tissue handy while you watch it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
