The Book That Makes You Cry

Oh the nefarious Hallmark commercials, guaranteed to make even the most hardened criminal cry. Many years ago, the one that sent me boo-hooing immediately was the one where the kid slips a card under the door of her curmudgeonly neighbor. Now they have a new one, featuring their recordable books for the holidays. A young soldier opens up his Christmas package and finds A Charlie Brown Christmas book. As he opens it, a sweet young voice tells him "Merry Christmas, Daddy" and begins to read the story to him. Click here and then click on the commercial titled "Active Duty." I defy you to keep your eyes dry.
