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!

It's not very Christmassy. They also don't seem to realise that the UK doesn't have snow over Christmas Sad Tis sweet though.

Last year's decapitated head one was better than this one IMO. They both have a very depressing dreary feel though. I would rather Russ Abbot came on and sang 'Atmosphere' and Bernie Clifton riding his ostrich and dancing. That's what John Lewis needs. Wink Bit of fun.

I don't really like it, as much as I wanted too because I love Christmas adverts.

Its just a bit sad and dreary for me. Lovely scenery though.

I liked it, cute but prefer the Asda one it makes me smile.

diddl · 09/11/2012 11:29

Doesn´t do anything for me.

Mind you, the Asda one doesn´t really bother me either.

I liked the one(Waitrose?) with the Highland Granny getting ready for Christmas and all the family getting there

also the music one, that was luffly

(apart from the weird brother and sister at the end)

Chandon · 09/11/2012 11:27

not a patch on last-year's.

too try hard, imo

SpringHeeledJack · 09/11/2012 11:27

like the ad itself, but

THE FUCKING MUSIC IS MAKING ME WANT TO STUFF MY EARS WITH SAUSAGE MEAT

naaaaaaaargh

Actually what I want for Christmas is

  1. World Peace
  1. Everyone to live in harmony
  1. NO MORE FUCKING ADS WITH FUCKING COVERS OF SONGS DONE IN A FUCKING TWEE MANNER BY A BREATHY MAN OR WOMAN FOR EVERMORE

thanks

It's cute, I like it.

onetiredmummy · 09/11/2012 11:21

I think it's a bit creepy
Like the Weeping Angels in Dr Who

LadyMaryCreepyCrawley · 09/11/2012 11:14

It's very sweet. Last years was better though, sorry.

RubyFakeNails · 09/11/2012 11:12

I like it. I preferred last years but its quite good.

Made me smile. Also I know that xmas eve shopping face all to well.

Mr frosty is passive aggressive and clearly needs to work through his ishoo's. Instead he goes on a massive journey in order to bring back implements of torture guilting Ms Frosty into put them on as he tells her all about his hard time fetching them whilst she forces a smile and feels the slow agonising death caused by the toasty hat scarf and gloves

That's lovely . The positioning of him in the snowy woods battling against the wind is great . Love it .

WhenShallWeThreeKingsMeetAgain · 09/11/2012 10:55

Loved it - big softy that I am.

Hat,glove and scarf set, the most boring present ever, other than a bale of beige towels, which would of been a little more logical.

nice mountain.

Makes me want to turn the heating up.
