Okay, bring on Christmas! I've seen the Budweiser Clydesdales ad so I'm now officially in the mood.
Now the wait for the Campbell's snowman kid begins.
Which favorites have you seen or are you looking forward to? And which new ones get on your nerves?

I like the gingerbread man fixing his house, especially when someone eats part of the roof, exposing his wife taking a bath! Don't think I'll ever tire of that one! :)

My favorite right now is the Capital One ad where the elves are frantic because Santa is too busy creating an image for his personalized credit card instead of packing up his sleigh. He chooses a picture of himself at the beach, and this tall elf with sunglasses and dog tags says "Your wife's a lucky man sir!" and Santa replies, "Yes she is." It cracks me up everytime. I also like the old Hershey's ad where the Kisses are dropping to the tune of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." It's not the holidays without me seeing that.
The commercials I can't stand are the ones for Kay, Jared, and any other jeweler. Getting a diamond for Christmas is not the end-all and be-all, and it practically says that a man isn't good enough until he gives his woman the real, expensive thing. Screw them! Have you seen the bling on HSN or QVC? ? It looks the same, can last just as long, and is a lot cheaper. I have several rings from them, and am quite happy with the fake stuff. No one can tell it's not real unless they're an expert.

As with other posters, I really like the M&M's one where Santa faints! It looks so beautiful and cozy and the Santa is great!
I also like the Walmart commercial where the cashiers are flashing their checkout lights in tune to the music.
Along the same line there is a Hallmark commercial for their musical gingerbread house where the one little girl starts to notice that her family and the snowflakes outside are doing everything in tune to the music from the gingerbread house...no one else is aware of this, but the look in her eyes is so cute, very magical!
But I think my favourite commercial for the past three years has been the Pampers commercial. It shows a whole bunch of babies who are all sleeping while Silent Night is being sung so peacefully, like a lullaby. The song is beautiful and the sleeping babes melt my heart everytime...especially the little one who is sucking in his sleep....oh so cute! I first saw that commercial the year my daughter was born, and at her first Christmas it always caught my attention becuase it reminded me so much of her when she was sleeping. If she was awake and playing she'd stop what she was doing and look at the tv, she just loved the music, and then last year loved the babies in the commercial too! It's become a special commercial to me, and now when I see it, I stop what I'm doing to watch it!

Always love the M&Ms. Another cute one I saw is one of the Insurance companies I think. A little girl comes up to daddy and asks to borrow the car to go to a party and he asks who's going to be there and she names some girls and Dylan... Dad, questions the Dylan a little and then tosses the keys. As she picks up the keys, we see she is no longer a little girl but a teenager. Then a little boy walks down the stairs and Dad asks where he is going and he replies "Work". It's kind of like how WE see them, and how everone else sees them.
Hubby likes the Mac VS PC ones.
For me it's the M&M's Santa ad.
"He does exist!"
"They do exist!"
*thud*
If I see/hear the Radio City show ad one more time, I'm going to kill someone.
Totally not Christmas related, but has anyone seen the Little Gordon Ramsey commercials? They are hysterical!!
