Blubbering mess

The John Lewis Christmas ad has destroyed me. The tears were pouring down my face. Oh God. I don't know whether to be embarrassed or watch it again so I can have another cry....

Edit from MNHQ: Sorry for butting in squiggleirl - but we're just going to add a link to to the video here so everyone can sob uncontrollably enjoy it . Apologies for the intrusion!

I knew what this would be about before I opened the thread!

Also had a jolly good cry too. At least the music isn't as ear wormy this year. Every time I went into JL last Christmas I was a blubbery mess! GrinSmile

I don't get it- was the penguin always a toy?

Left me totally unmoved and I cried at the advert last year where they sang 'all the little things' (aldi?) so I am a regular Christmas ad crier, I think they have missed this year.

I'm really cross.

My son is renowned for his imaginary penguin friend. It's the thing that makes him special. Now every fucker is going to pretend they've got one.

been around for years [[http://newpencilcase.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/happy-feet/]]

I feel sullied, like when that X Factor woman recorded Hallelujah, or Smelly Cat got turned into a cat food advert.

Yep me too

I was snivelling enough when the penguin was real - the reveal tipped me over the edge though!
