Christmas Heart Strings

The saddest commercial was on 'tele' last night. The ad contains pictures of people waiting for arrivals at the airport. As the pictures are going by there are destinations and prices written at the bottom of the screen. It began with: Toronto £299, then Rome £399, Bejing £1099, Los Angles £899 and so on. But at the end it has pictures of families hugging in the airport after their plane has arrived and it says “Spending Christmas together….Priceless.” Saddest commercial ever. Especially for those of us not going home for Christmas. Although we are excited about our little adventure over Christmas to London and Paris, it will still feel pretty strange not to be with our families on Christmas. Hopefully this time next year our life will be more similar to the ones featured in the commercial. Even the thought of that is priceless.
