I have always loved this. Remember as a teenager I was so struck by its clean, simple lines. It is still my favorite holiday promo/message.

Have a Beautiful Christmas and a much more positive
New Year.
Whatever you call your belief, true light & warmth is not in a church or a government building, BUT IN OUR HEARTS, WHEN WE OPEN UP AND SHARE OUR HUMANNESS!
GOD BLESS US EVERYONE!!!
I am a Christian who does not celibrate the winter solistice (Christmas). Even with the music that is played (They did not include the lyrics), I am not offended by this commercial. I think it is cute and sweet.
...Even though Jesus Christ was not "born on Christmas day".
As someine else has already said, I remember this commercial. I was only a young undergrad at UNA at the time. Wish we had more of the same...................Joe Ben

No I'm not a right wing so-called Christian, but a left of center Catholic.
Merry Christmas and Seasons Greetings to all
A simpler time and a gentler time. We are now living in the fast lane to a large, loud, intrusive coporate nowhere. A real shame what we've lost in our society. And, who cares about all of the religious this and religious that - the point of this has obviously been missed by the majority of you.
