It just wouldn't be Christmas without this ad...

I know it's late to post about this, but I just found it online.
In 1982, Folgers Coffee came out with a Christmas commercial to end all ads. You've seen it. Peter comes home from college armed with beautifully wrapped gifts. His little sister comes down the stairs, and tells Peter to wake everyone up. "I know just the thing", says Peter. The smell of fresh Folgers coffee wakes everyone up, and mom walks in and says "Peter!"
Yup, that's the one. My mother and I reminisce about this ad sometimes; not only for the sheer longevity, but more for the fact that neither of us can ever remember me coming home from college with anything more than a big pile of dirty laundry, let alone professionally wrapped gifts.
Well not only did we see this ad year after year, but apparently after a (brief) break, it's still being aired. Matt and I don't watch TV that much, so I never saw it, but apparently it came back in 2005 and they've aired it this year too.
For those like me that craved the chance to see it "just one more time", here it is.
