Holiday Commercials You Enjoy
We have a local (semi-local?) family restaurant chain called Eat N Park. They put out the same commercial every year. They didn't play it for a couple years, and got so many complaints that it's now a classic. Maybe you know of one, too. Enjoy!

I miss Eat N Park incredibly - there's nowhere better to get breakfast at 3am.
I have looked all over YouTube for this commercial, and I know only people from the Northeast may know what I'm talking about, but from the discount retailer Ames, the one with the cooked Turkey jumping off the table and running out the door to get to the Black Friday sales at Ames always used to make us giggle.
I miss it terribly.
I also like the Peter Comes Home commercial from Folgers.
ETA: Seriously? No one was going to tell me that I put Folders instead of Folgers? You guys are gettin' soft for the holidays!

Damn, that Peter was a hottie.

The Lexus "Best gift ever" commercials are my current fave.

The Coca-cola commercial with the polar bears.
I usually really like holiday commercials, but the ones with music from the Nutcracker make me want to commit suicide. After hearing that music for four months for fourteen years, I have no tolerance for it.

Makes me want to un-bury Tchaikovsky and Balanchine and beat them to a pulp with a pointe shoe/candy cane.

I missed a Daily Double on Jeopardy! - What instrument is featured in The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy? - now every time I hear that song I want to scream "CELESTINA!!!".
