It’s the time the year that Christmas commercials are all telling you why you need to buy THEIR stuff. They offer the fastest results, are easy to use and will make you thinner… or more successful… or more healthy than any other product out there. If you’re like me, you find more stuff this time of year that you want for yourself while you’re shopping for others.
If you’re old, shopping online wasn’t always an option.
I can remember going to the best mall around and shopping with a list of items in mind for the people I needed to buy for. It was back when I had a list of toys for my kid and that was an easy trip too. This girl wasn’t headed to a mall yesterday…
…and it wasn’t on my bingo card to go shopping somewhere last night either.
Shopping online makes it waaaay too easy!
So many of the people on my list to buy for don’t “need” anything and their “wants” are above my pay grade. It’s crazy that I spend $200 for a week’s groceries, but hate to spend the same amount for a freaking gift. Gift cards and money are nothing more than trading envelopes and I hate that too.
So I watch all those commercials in the background as I’m surfing for gifts while hoping a big light bulb will come on over my head. If that happens, within one or two clicks I can check another person off my shopping list.
That’s how I saw the new Chevy Christmas commercial (sorry, they have the VERY BEST Christmas commercials of all time). And now, I’ve decided I want a Chevy!
Now you know: Chevy’s current “holiday short film,” Memory Lane, marks the 5th year of the current “Holiday Card to America” holiday-ad campaign. Previous entries include: 2024’s The Sanctuary, 2023’s A Holiday to Remember, 2022’s Mrs. Hayes, and 2021’s Holiday Ride.
