Obama Chia Pet commercial
I’ve been trying to find a commercial that I only saw a couple of times a few years ago. It featured an older woman, on the porch of a log or post-and-beam house, waiting for the family to come for the Holidays. She had grey hair braided an interesting way, and I think it was a snowy scene.
At first I thought it was Folger’s, but I don’t think so. Does anyone remember it? I think it was very obscure, and didn’t run much...(May have been a Thanksgiving, not a Christmas, ad.)
My TV commercial memories are of the Santa sleigh-riding on the shaver; and I like the polar-bear Coca Cola commericals.

Heres one. A mcdonalds gift certificate commercial that starred a young corey feldman. It made its debut in 1975, but aired again in following years.

Even the Anheuser-Busch jingle sticks in my mind as a classic Christmas carol.
