Note the "Merry Christmas" before the PC movement of the 80s through today diminished Christmas.

Great observation, I didn't pick up on that.

maybe the greatest commercial ever made.

They don't make commercials like this anymore and that's sad. It seems the only ones they put out these days either involve obnoxious hip-hop or unintelligible rock music. Wish we could return to simpler times before corporations ruined everything.

If I am not mistaken the horse in this video is "Captain Rock" a harness trotter foaled at the Historic Miller farm. I took care of this horse as a two year old when just starting in the business at Rosecroft Raceway. The sire was an Honor Rodney stallion named Drexel Steve.

Nice to hear MERRY CHIRSTMAS. Those were the days before "pc" hit the fan.

I was taking about this particular commercial tonight at dinner and said "I wonder if it's on youtube" So happy it is! It's the best I've ever seen,,,in fact I wrote the comapany many years ago telling them how it touched my heart..the sent me a Christgmas card with the scene and voucher for a 6-pack,,lol,( made my hubby happy) I've never understood why companies feelk they have to spend money to make a commercial when they have a true winner,and since it;s only a seasonal commercial.

@WildBill6942 That is so true. In fact it's gotten so bad they act like they're afraid to even say "Merry Christmas" anymore. Some stupid atheist or muslim starts complaining and every company kisses their ass.

I was told that this is a horse that I used to take care of, a Standardbred named Captain Rock, could that be true?

[rwnutjob]

They don't do ads like this becaouse it's not politically correct to say Merry Christmas any more.

Mine too Anne. I am so thankful to have found this again. It saddens me that they no longer show it on television. Merry Christmas Anne...
