Sobeys Christmas Commercial "Star Of Christmas"

This classic commerical for the Sobeys Supermarket chain in Canada aired in the 1980's in Atlantic Canada for years and became a staple of the holidays. You knew it was Christmas time when this ad came on. Featuring the choir from Saint Agnes School in Halifax. Bring the ad back, Sobeys! PS - I'm in the first choir shot.

@simonnaylor I was wondering if this was the commercial you were in!! I remember you being in the sobeys christmas commercial but since we are all getting OLD now I was no longer sure if I remembered that was you or imagined it! (we went to elementary and junior high together) Its that time of year again Merry Christmas.
