I've seen The Commercial! The one that tells me that we are officially in the run-up to Christmas, never mind that it's not Thanksgiving yet. I suppose I should be happy that they're not running it pre-Halloween.
It's the Hershey's Kisses one, the one where the Kisses are in the shape of a Christmas tree and they're ringing like bells, playing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", and the last little one rings like crazy and then wipes its nonexistent brow with its little paper pull. They play this commercial every single year and it fascinates me with its longevity and simplicity. Commercials are so ephemeral by nature that for someone to come up with one that can be, and is, re-used over and over like that, is unusual.
Okay, so I'm easily amused. It's the little things in life that make us smile, and for me, it's the little Hershey's Kiss ringing its tiny heart out.

ETA: You can see the commercial here. One of the comments says it's been running since the early '90s. I don't know if that's accurate, but I know I've seen it for years.
