Anyone remember this Met Life Thanksgiving commercial?


This was shown sometime in the late eighties/early nineties. It was one of the Met Life animated Peanuts commercials, but since this was a holiday it was less about pushing the product and more about wishing the viewers a happy Thanksgiving.

The Peanuts gang was on a stage as if for a school/church pageant, in Pilgrim costumes, miming the preparation of the Thanksgiving feast as they sang the hymn "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come". It ended with a simple "Happy Thanksgiving from Met Life" message.

I kind of liked it. Simple and sweet, like Peanuts does best. I wish they'd included it as an Easter egg on the DVD.

ETA: found it on YouTube!
