poltr1....the time the companies roll out their holiday commercials. You've seen them -- the Lexus in the driveway with a big bow on top, the one where the yellow and red M&Ms meet Santa, etc.
Are there any favorite commercials? Are there any ones you hate?
On the hate list: There's one depicting a party. Someone trips over a power cord and the lights go off. Then the sprinklers go off. And a couple hides under a piano. I don't even know what the ad is for. I hate that one even more than the incessant car and jewelry commercials.
On the like list: The ones for Texas Pete hot sauce, waking up people dressed up as food, and the guy in the bottle sounding like a drill sergeant.
I miss Santa zipping around in the snow on his Noelco (sic) razor. That was a classic.
