Description

The ad opens showing a secular version of an Advent calendar. This one has an abstract wreath image with numbers and little doors around it. Normally a board like this is opened one day at a time before Christmas, revealing Biblical scenes and sometimes candies.

In the ad, a hand opens one of the doors and we find a live-action scene of a couple trimming their Christmas tree. Other doors open to reveal other people and also some products that are sold at Target stores. One of the last doors shows a woman closing her curtains to reveal the message "Merry Christmas."

Great song,it reminds me of Belle and Sebastian.Wish it were a complete Christmas song,it's the best since The Waitresses,"all wrapped up".I'm sure it would be as classic.

I like this better than the original "My Patch." Jim Noir should do the full length Christmas version.
