A Holiday to Remember - Tear jerker Chevy commercial

It didn't feel right posting this in the humorous TV commercials thread but thought it was worth a view. Tear jerker alert. My sister sent it to me and the tears were running down my face.

Did I read it in another thread here or someplace else about that drive-in theater name being edited by the Chevy commercial producers to hide that it is actually named the FORD - Wyoming theater?????

I went through that very same thing with my grandmother, who had severe Alzheimer's, until she passed at 93. Definitely a touching commercial.

I'm sorry. Both my grandmother and great grandmother had Alzheimer's or dementia. It's tough and heart breaking when they don't remember you. I'm at an age now where a lot of my friends and cousins are going through this with their parents.

Very nice, Laura. Especially around the holidays. I hope we live that long, and stay healthy.

Thanks for posting.

I like the classic Suburban, and the sentiment of the commercial, but it is kind of funny that GM of all companies is producing a commercial like this.

The Amazon one where the 3 old ladies slide down the snow hill (thanks to the Amazon delivery) is almost as heart-wrenching, but in a better overall way since they can all still remember.

I didn’t catch that and honestly I don’t think I would have attributed that statement to global warming nonsense. It’s Snow cycles. We have ridiculous years of snowfall and then very dry years. Rinse, repeat …..

Edit- we’ve gone over 600 days here in NYC without a measurable snowfall. I didn’t have to shovel once last winter.
