Toys r us christmas commercial 1976

As Christmas is already next month, I wanted to post the TOYS R US COMMERCIAL from 1976.

A blast from the past that brings such a nostalgic feeling to the Christmas season.

Remember and enjoy!

Not loud enough. But yeah, that brings back warm fuzzy feelings. Watching cartoons and sitcoms on WNEW Ch. 5 in NYC, and seeing that commercial would give me that real Christmas feeling.

Great commercial! I love the simplicity of it (Not saying that the animation is simple).

Ever since YouTube came around I've watched this multiple times each holiday season. There was a feeling I'd get as a kid when this commercial would come on, that would amp up my excitement for Xmas tenfold. I still get a bit of that feeling when I see it now, thankfully.

Everytime I hear that I think of that one scene in Cobra where Stallone is cleaning his gun and that commercial is running.

There are McDonald's commercials that tug at the ole' heartstrings and scream Christmas to the little kid in me as well. The one w/ Corey Feldman as a little tike leaving a gift certificate for Santa, and the Merry Christmas Word one. Both from 1975. Take a look:

I love the old commercials! So many memories and good feelings remembering the old Christmas celebrations at Grandma's place. Seems it all was so long ago... Sighs.

Thanks for sharing these links!
