I LOVE Holiday Ads

After nearly a year of brutal political ads, it is such a breath of fresh air to watch holiday ads. They all seem to have the same themes ... a family member showing up, people giving each other gifts, or the family gathered around the dinner table together. They portray love, kindness and family relationships. The magic of the holidays. Holiday ads are the anti-political ads. Holiday ads make me feel good. Political ads make me feel angry. I am enjoying the holiday ads and I wish we could stretch them out until summer ... and then start the new ads for next winter immediately! LOL Sometimes I hear people complain that we start celebrating the holidays too early in the fall. I'm starting to think we don't start early enough!

That is true . . . peace on earth, love and blessings, happiness and cheer . . . we sure need to have (and practice) that all year 'round!

@much2say - Yes, we would be far better off if we enjoyed these things the year around!

This almost makes me want to go to a motel and rent a room so that I can use their TV.

In my country, there is still no festive euphoria, but it is always nice to hear about them, but about some of the bad issues.

@Nevena83 - I hope the bad issues in Serbia become better one day.
