I'm Not Crying, You're Crying: Exchange Ad Gets Us Right in the Feels

Share
Navy Exchange Christmas advertisement video

I am not known for my emotional strength against military-themed commercials over the holidays or any other time of year. But this one really got me.

Maybe it's the sweet little boy the same age as my own son. Maybe it's the awesome portrayal of a Navy family where the mom is the sailor and the dad is the spouse. Or maybe it's that sappy-but-real holiday magic that has us all believing in Santa just a tiny little bit.

Does it even matter?

Warning: You're going to want to grab a tissue. I dare you to watch this video and not shed at least one tear while also smiling.

     

    You got me, Navy Exchange.
