    Default Perhaps the best commercial I've seen in a long time...

    And it only cost $131.00 to make...

    Makes me want to go to Wales and buy a hammer...

    Kind of makes you wonder why millions are spent to produce some of the crap commercials they force feed us...




    This hardware store's Christmas ad cost just $131 to make, and it's one of the best ones you'll see this year

    IF ONLY?....Thanks for this one. Heartwarming, and Merry Christmas too!

    What a great commercial, and a great song too! Never heard of "Alphaville" before but not a bad song at all.

    The idea about being young around Christmas I think is what always makes it special for me in a way. While I am surely not young, every Christmas makes me feel like that at times. Depends whether it's the music, a tree or seeing family or relatives. It makes me feel and remember childhood times, which WERE still magical and the absolute best time of the year!

    One of the MANY reasons we enjoy having so many kids . I can't even imagine Christmas without a houseful.

    I was in a houseful as a kid, but now as parents we have just one child. I can say categorically we have a much better Christmas now. It’s not about numbers but about with whom you are celebrating.

    Yups. There were 4 of us growing up ad we always had a blast, even if the parents didn't like us waking on Christmas morning at like 2-3am.

    The company and relatives have been getting less and less over the years. This year my son is going to Indiana for Christmas, so it will be just myself and Diana, home alone in NY!
