As the Thanksgiving holiday is almost upon us, I can finally post the assortment of holiday-appropriate commercials I’ve been saving up. You’ll find two spots from 1972; one for Reynolds Wrap and one for Armour Turkey. Following those, two spots from 1978 featuring Carvel Ice Cream Cakes and the Kenmore Microwave.

Here at home, as long-time vegetarians, we’ve got our plant-based meal ready to go and we’ll be gathering with family Thursday – which we weren’t able to do last year. I hope you all have a joyous and safe Thanksgiving!
