PS Merry Christmas Ann It's never to early!

[Kriek]

Also done - Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you are keeping well Chippy

[LazySusan11]

Let's hope it's better than last years, that was pap!

[SideOrderofChip]

Why don't you ever have he Channel Islands as a region!!

[Mycatsabastard]

Definitely reckon it will upbeat/funny this year. It's been tear jerkers two years in a row with the other big names competing in the same genre.

I reckon they'll go traditional family route this year with lots of capers and stuff.

[HoneyDragon]

No breathy annoyingly voiced butchering of a perfectly good song. Something with a marketable character, donations to charity forthwith for purchase.

I reckon a generational family thing and a raggedy old bear.

[FlopIsMyParentingGuru]

Well I did it as well as I could but my actual prediction is a man wearing a cabled wool hat and wool jumper and big boots looking for a Christmas tree in a large forest filmed in a Nordic noir yet still upbeat manner. Maybe black and white. Til the end when they bring colour in as the punchline.

Man, I'm wasted here at home!!!!!

[Theimpossiblegirl]

My prediction is that it will be Christmassy and divide opinion. There will be associated merchandise and al song.

[Theimpossiblegirl]

*a song

[Akire]

Do you have to have a child to do it like the other prize surveys here? There is no 0 child option

[HoneyDragon]

I think there should be a Mumsnet one where the fed up mother LTBs and "goes to a Spa".

[TheImprobableGirl]

I think it'll be sporty because of the olympics/Paralympics this year in Rio. Maybe Chris hoy burning Christmas dinner or something!

[OhNoNotMyBaby]

I'd love to see a remake of a my favourite children's book, which I loved reading to the DCs when they were little.

It was about decorating a tree in the middle of a forest. There were lots of animals involved in that - can't remember the title. The book is in a cupboard somewhere.

Oh! just remembered - and Father Christmas and the donkey

Now that has to be perfect for the JL advert!

and back to you....

[torthecatlady]

I also think it will be sporty!! I hope it will be another tearjerker though!
Oh God, that sainsbury's ad last year of Mog had me in pieces, bringing back so many childhood memories.

[torthecatlady]

Three of my fave things mentioned here!

Christmas, John Lewis and Mumsnet of course!

[sharond101]

Something with Santa visiting a sick child

[RockinHippy]

My prediction is that it will be cheesy, multicultural & play on the refugee crisis in a tear jerking, but heartwarming way

[weeblueberry]

I really really really want a post apocalyptic version of A Christmas Carol now!!

[itmustbemyage]

A break from the tearjerkers would be good I would love to see something like mum and dad being ill one Christmas and having to get out of bed feeling all rubbish and dreading the day ahead. Only to find their adorably cute kids have put up the Christmas tree all wonky, wrapped the presents all in a muddle and made sandwiches for Christmas dinner on fabulous Christmas plates from John Lewis. Lots of laughs and jolly music I may have given too much thought to this.

[slug]

I predict the theme will be around a comically incompetent single father who can't manage anything Christmassy. Mrs Claus (or possibly an angel) sees him struggling so arranges it for a refugee family to be re-settled in his house and the mother (it can't be a Christmas ad without a bit of good lod fashioned sexism) takes over producing a non-traditional feast. the last scene will be a charming, soft focus multicultural meal complete with gambolling children and piles of perfectly wrapped presents.

[Cheesecakefactory]

I think it will focus on achievement, determination and team spirit after the wonderful success of the British Team at the Olympics.

[missingmumxox]

It will be lots of ethnic family groups buying socks, scarves and ties, as the story gets closer to Christmas they will start marching to Dover where they will tie them together to form ropes which paraolympic and Olympic swimmers will take one end across to Calais where on the beach they will be greeted by people waving the different flags of the EU, these people will surge forward take the other end of the make shift ropes and start pulling the camera will pull away to reveal both the British and the the rest of Europe pulling the land masses closer and closer together just before the touch Nigel Farage will rush out to try and stop the land from touching, he will lose his balance and fall beneath the waves everyone will run to embrace each other....
John Lewis, never knowingly undertowed.
