It started last year I began to focus on the ads being just too detailed,clever, manufactured - more like trailers for movies. It's already started again this year!! I still like the "holidays are comin' "Coke ad it's simple catchy. I love Christmas sooooooo much, but not these ads!

They are too long! I don't care for them.

I don't cry over them either. I just what them to fuck off

I cried at the end of the John Lewis one. Not because of the gooey sentimental message but at the realisation that I couldn't buy an actual penguin there. :(

I hate the Argos one with a passion. Not sure why, it just irritates me. The yellow arms clicking, the girls roller blading... the only really Christmassy bit is the snowman. I know the boxes are meant to represent a tree, but it just doesn't shout Christmas advert to me at all.
I miss simple, obviously Christmas adverts.

Hate the Matalan one. Pixie Lott is pointless.

I like the song played on the Argos one. Was in The Beavis & Butthead (remember them?) Christmas Special years ago. Fond memories.

The John Lewis penguin one is quite cute.

Haven't seen any others yet.

No YANBU because it's only bloody November & not Christmas for ages! Most of the supermarket ones - tesco, aldi, lidl etc are all a bit samey - they really need to think of something a bit different.

I like the M&S one but that's mainly because of the slightly steampunky beginning...

What could ever live up to the image created by these ads? Certainly not the Christmases we all write about on mumsnet!

I hate the Debenhams one. It just reminds that all Christmas seems to be about these days is greed and indulgence.
