Which ones do you remember? This one sticks out for me as I always think of it when Feliz Navidad is played.
Christmas commercials from your youth

I always just remember commercials of kids playing with monster truck style toy pickups on awesome looking little dirt tracks in their backyard and just wanting all of that for Xmas.
I am just glad that they still do the M&Ms "They do exist" commercial.
Don’t know how to post it but Santa riding the Norelco razor
The Hershey's kisses one has been around for as long as I can remember.
Can't find the commercial but I can still sing the Sears "After Christmas" sale commercial from the late 70s or early 80s...
"Almost everything you wanted but didn't get for Christmas is on sale now at Sears!"
"Almost everything you wanted but didn't get for Christmas is on sale now at Sears!"
You people are really hitting me in the feels. Hallmark and Folgers get me every year with homecoming commercials. My contribution is a Hallmark commercial that in my mind is a precursor to the "David Comes Home" Folgers commercial.
My younger son enlisted in the USAF back in 2001, went through boot just after 9/11, and MOS training in Mississippi after that. He wasn't allowed to come back to Iowa that Christmas.
I didn't expect him home for the following Christmas because he was always broke, and because I had basically resigned myself to my sons growing up and moving away. Christmas Eve 2002 I was in the balcony of the church where the bell choir played, visiting with friends and waiting for the service to start. I hear this "hi, Ma" from behind me, and turn around and there is all 6'2" of him in uniform. I think the whole church heard me shout his name. Spent the next few minutes holding on to him, blubbering into his jacket, and not wanting to let go. It's tough to have your kids grow up and move away. Even tougher if you don't know whether they will be deployed or not. I hope all of you will share quality time with family and friends this holiday season.

The song alone is one of the greatest of all time. These all feel very recent to my recollection.
