you spelled the R wrong in the title lmao

@Nokitfer Well you can't exactly turn the "R" backwards in a YouTube posting... there are some limitations.

Wow, this brings happy tears to me! I remember as a kid in the 70's/80's seeing this commercial and getting excited for X-Mas! I'd give anything to go back in time, to a Christmas morning with mom cooking in the kitchen and getting all excited for the toys that I got. I feel bad for kids today, it's all computers and video games and it seems kids today aren't thankful for the things they get, like we were as kids. Ahh, but us children of yesteryear can smile with our memories knowing their ours!

@Idoljunky32 Thanks for your comment! I wish I could go back in time as well -- so many things I'd like to re-live or re-observe. We grew up at the right time, I think.  So many things happened during that time.

Shame they didnt do a commercial using my store in California. They could have had the ghost pop up and make the little Giraffe wet herself :)

This commercial was in Cobra with Sylvester Stallone

@Idoljunky32 you said it perfectly. This takes me straight back to the late 70's as a kid. This commercial was just as good as any of the Christmas specials that used to come on.

Wow I love this commerical.

I'm guessing the "Now open in Yonkers" is a "Now closed in Yonkers"; if so, when did it close?

@Idoljunky32 you and i both

The most heart felt warmest commercial ever..brings back childhood memories :)

@melh07302 I agree fully. I have tons of awesome memories during holidays growing up and indeed I wonder what kids today will think of them with all the commercialism circulating now. But from what I've observed, most kids want to know what holidays were like in the 70's, and they want holidays to be that way now. There is hope :)
