No, not the message -- with which I am in essential agreement.

No, I'm talking about the rather bizarre lighting and framing of the shot. Shouldn't it be the Christmas tree, not the window frame, that is illuminated?

Unless, of course, one is seeking to send a not-so-subliminal sumliminal message.

Who'd have thought, though, that we would ever reach a day in America that a commercial wishing people a Merry Christmas -- and explicitly reminding us that it is CHRISTmas -- would be somehow controversial. The message is dead-on correct. But the cheap lighting gimmick really goes a bit too far.
