As usual, Apple's holiday ad will have you reaching for a tissue

This year's ad shows a young woman who obviously loves to be creative. But she has such low confidence in herself that she doesn't even let her dog see her work. She keeps all of her drawings locked away in a box. Even at her job in a bakery, or on the bus, she is afraid to show her creativity. But her dog has had enough. One particularly windy day, the canine opens the bedroom window allowing all of the woman's work to be blown out of the box where they were being kept from others' eyes.

Of course, our heroine's work is suddenly blown into the hands of the townsfolk and they love it. Apple, which loves to use the tag line to pull on your heartstrings, does it again as the words "Share Your Gifts" are written on the screen.

While the actual spot is found at the top of this article, a video showing how Apple made the video can be viewed below.
