This superlatively sentimental ad showcases a lonely old man who spends Christmas alone.

This ad made the audience stop for a while and contemplate. The sadness settles in our heart that takes us home bound!

May the shinning star on the top of the tree,
Lots of joy and a heart filled with glee.
May the beautiful presents shining in the light,
Makes your Christmas truly happy and bright.

Sending you warm greetings for the Season!

May the Christmas wreath be hung on your door
And Christmas tinsel adorn your every floor
May the dazzling tree add beauty to your living room
And every corner of the house be away from gloom
May the Santa on the sleigh walk down your chimney
To bless you with luck and make your life shiny!
