Have y'all ever had the opportunity to step up and help someone out? You know like paying for their groceries when they realize they're short or helping them up if they fall or helping someone short reach something on a top shelf...that sort of thing. Simple, everyday things that can make the difference in someone's day.
Do y'all know that I have never had the opportunity to do any of it except help an elderly lady find her brand of coffee once in Trader Joe's? Oh, I've seen these people. But there always seems to be someone in front of me or closer in proximity to the person and they don't hesitate to step up and help out. It's downright annoying.
I know I should be grateful that there are people who are more than willing and able to help a fellow human out and I am but I'd like to have the chance too. I mean, come on!
I can so relate to the characters in the Kohl's commercials:
Did y'all see the squirrel at the end? He folds his arms in obvious frustration that he did not get to help make that dad's Christmas better. That's me. I'm the squirrel. Because someone like that nice lady is always one step ahead of me.
Oh, well. That commercial reminded me of the next one. The one that's brought a swell to my heart and a happy tear to my eye. Oh, and makes me want to be Mrs. Claus:
I hope everyone caught the humor in this post. I promise, it's not an actual complaint. :)
Have a great weekend, y'all!
Oh, and if you need a hostess gift for those holiday parties, check out my Etsy shop and then you'd be helping me out. :) I don't have a cute commercial but the coasters are pretty nice. AND I have some with a vintage look that are new this week!
Here's the link to my Etsy shop: CoasterDoodles

I actually have seen these two ads. Fakebook shares I think. I do enjoy good ads but complaining about others helping because you didn't a chance to help - hmmm that is an interesting complaint.
ReplyDeleteIt was supposed to ring humorous. I guess that didn't work out. LOL I've seen the ads via Hulu. They don't show those kinds of ads during college football on Saturday or NFL games on Sunday. Ha!
DeleteLove the Mrs. Claus one. I just saw the Kohls one for the first time a little bit earlier. Well at least part of it. Both are great.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea Kohl's was selling American Girl dolls until I saw the ad. Then I had to check and YEP! They're selling them until the first of the year. Of course, they're no less expensive than ordering them online so... I'm glad I saved all our American Girl dolls and accessories. :) Thank you!
DeleteI caught the humor, Pam. Your post did make me remember a few times I've paid for the person behind me in line at a drive-thru fast food place. That feels just as good as helping someone in line at the grocery.
ReplyDeleteOh, shoot! Doing it for the people BEHIND me. Why didn't I think of that????? :) I will now! Thanks, Terri!
DeleteEnjoyed the commercials. I never do drive through but I would love to treat someone behind me! I'll have to come up with another way.....
ReplyDeleteI'd like to do that too. I never thought of it. I always think of helping someone in front of me who doesn't have what they need. Thanks!
DeleteIf more people thought of others and not just themselves the world would be a nicer place, just a thought. Leo calls me Mrs Claus just thought I would add that because of the second clip
ReplyDeleteI agree! That's so sweet! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, Mrs Claus!
