"Hey Mom, come here and look at this commercial," my son said to me this morning.  I went over to the TV and watched:

 

Since the whole thing isn't captioned, I've written it out here to the best of my lipreading abilities:

Man:  I'm sorry my signing isn't so good. 

Woman:  You're doing fine!

Man:  I'm learning some new signs...for you.

Woman:  Really?!

Man turns and grabs a gift.

Man:  Merry Christmas!

Woman gazes at her brand new watch and sighs with awe.

(Commercial goes to something about Kay Jewelers.  I have no idea if they're saying anything. Not sure if it was captioned on the TV since I missed that part. )

Man:  Do you like it?

Woman:  Read my lips.  (She smiles)

Update: Bill Creswell comes through again! (I love this guy!) Here's the commercial with captions in it:

    You know what this reminds me of? Jamie and Aurelia in "Love Actually." But that's just my romantic side showing through, I guess. I like seeing signing portrayed as just another language instead of "OMG something's wrong with them!"

    I'm shaking my head over this one. While humming through Twitter this evening, I started to notice
