Hello.

Given the amount of, erm, interest the Asda Christmas ad has generated on Mumsnet in the past few days, we thought it would be interesting/fun to find out how you all feel about the .

Do tell!

Nope. It makes me feel cold and anyway John Lewis is always so boiling inside that snowman wouldn't have lasted 3 seconds.

AmberLeaf · 09/11/2012 16:44

It left me cold.

Literally cold

Bit boring really, I preferred last years.

Grin Because Mrs Snowman is worth it. Wink

It's alright.

I quite like the Debenhams one with all the pretty lights. I want to wallop Myleene, why is she asking FC whether Mum gets a gift ?

But everyone knows that the REAL christmas advert is the Coca-Cola one. I get really excited when I first see that.

It would have been better if he got back and there was another Snowman in his place. With a couple of snowchildren. Shock

Sparklingbrook · 09/11/2012 16:19

Yes usual but you might like a hat if you had Mrs Snowman's bad hair. Wink

lostinindia · 09/11/2012 16:18

I was rather hoping that when he got back she would have melted.

Is it because Mrs Snowman has bad hair? Thats quite sad.

DreamySleepyNightySnoozySnooze · 09/11/2012 16:08

I cry at the coca cola one too? Blush

Didn't cry at the snowman one though, just the memory of last year's ad.

you're all crying at cotton wool.

Sparklingbrook · 09/11/2012 16:07

I feel like I should be crying now. But you will have to tell me what i am crying for as I really don't know.

It's nice, but as I watched it I remembered last years advert and started sobbing! Blush That one was so lovely.

balotelli · 09/11/2012 15:50

Absolutely brilliant.

49 yr old bloke sat here tears running down my wrinkly cheeks!

Shame they didnt use Imogen Heap as was rumoured but still love the music and the ad!

Sniff sniff

Sparklingbrook · 09/11/2012 15:41

Seriously though. We have seen it. It's the 9th November. How many more times do we have to see it? None. We know what happens. Confused

Sparklingbrook · 09/11/2012 15:30

I want Russ Abbott and Bernie Clifton. Tell JL that too HelenMumsnet.

QuickLookBusy · 09/11/2012 15:22

I don't think it's as good as last years.

It's all about the snowman struggling. As I said on another thread I want warm and fuzzy at Christmas, not struggles.
