Christmas is here.
For many American families, waiting for and watching Christmas ads is also an essential tradition for the annual holiday season.
During the 2007 financial crisis, due to dismal sales that year, department store John Lewis released their first ever Christmas ad, which received a lot of praise and good sales results.
In every year since, the release of Christmas ads has become the exclusive program of John Lewis, and the release of John Lewis Christmas ads is a sign of the beginning of the Christmas season for many people, and some people even revisit the short films of the year every Christmas.
Since then, the annual Christmas advertisement has been the domain of John Lewis.
However, this year, perhaps because of this special year, or perhaps because everyone has experienced too many special things together, there is another Christmas advertisement that has changed history and overwhelmed John Lewis's Christmas short film and become another unique existence...
The Christmas ad from Germany, which has garnered more than 15 million views since its release on YouTube on November 30, is considered the most tear-jerking holiday short of the year (the John Lewis Christmas ad has received less than a third of its views).
In the morning, the sun hit half of Grandpa's face,
After getting up, Grandpa looked at the pictures on the wall and fell into memories, thoughtfully,
Suddenly, Grandpa caught a glimpse of someone outside the window busily carrying the Christmas tree.
Then, a thought flashed through Grandpa's mind!
He went to the utility room, and after some searching among the piles of scraps—finally, it was it: a kettlebell that was dusty and a little rusty from its age!
Grandpa tried, but after all, no one can resist the invasion of time,
Without the body that was so muscular as when he was young, it can be seen from Grandpa's expression that he really can't lift the kettlebell easily...
Later, Grandpa dragged the kettlebell into the yard with difficulty, wanting to try it there,
Coincidentally, I was bumped into by a neighbor.
The expression on the neighbor's puzzled face seemed to have written on it: What the hell is this old man doing?
Even so, in Grandpa's mind, a complete plan seems to have taken shape...
The next morning, as soon as the alarm clock sounded, the thunder did not move, and Grandpa began his physical training again:
On this day, due to lack of physical strength, the falling kettlebell almost hurt Grandpa himself.
But Grandpa did not give up, and later, whether it was the wind and rain or the discussion of the neighbors, it did not change Grandpa and the kettlebell, or the battle with himself.
Needless to say, Grandpa's training was still quite effective.
Especially when he put on a sportswear, there is still a bit of a feeling of youth, and the kettlebell seems to be getting lighter and lighter.
In this process, even gained a few small fans ~
In this way, Grandpa practiced from the sunshine to the snow, and the day Grandpa was looking forward to finally arrived.
On this day, Grandpa put on the most solemn clothes for himself,
The light in his eyes, do you see it?
On this day, the Wan family was reunited, and his beloved little granddaughter also came,
And all the efforts of Grandpa also ushered in this important moment:

See here, hey, how did the American King's eyes get into the sand?
I didn't cry, you just cried.
We need more such beautiful creations to inspire us and others, one of the best short films of all time.
I was a big 39-year-old man who was poked.
2020 has been a bit of a bad year for the whole world.
This year, Australian wildfires, the new crown epidemic, the Kobe plane crash, the East African locust plague...
In New South Wales, Australia, a horse escapes from a wildfire.
On Jan. 26, NBA legend Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, at the age of 41.
On June 26, 2020, in Cali, Colombia, Diana Angela, a new crown pneumonia patient, was discharged from the hospital, and her boyfriend Jefferson Riascos proposed on her knees, and medical staff held up a banner that read", "Will you marry me?" to wish the two people. A few days ago, Diana Angela successfully delivered the two children by caesarean section in a coma.
On August 15, 2020, in Frankfurt, Germany, Florian Meyler and his Brazilian girlfriend, Renata Alves, reunited after six months of separation due to the outbreak.
It's true that an ad can't completely change a bad reality, but it has a power that brings people together.
"Sometimes the best love for your family is to take care of yourself.
The health of every loved one is the best gift of the holiday. ”
Today is Christmas, and I hope that everyone who has experienced 2020 can love the world more. Because adversity often gives rise to eternal love and sincerity.
Happy holidays.
