It brought tears to my eyes aswell!! I was glad I was alone when I saw it!!

Flanelle · 12/11/2011 21:27

Well. It's designed to affect you. It's an advert. Was it nice in the garden anyway? Moon's very pretty!

Sparklingbrook · 12/11/2011 21:27

There is another thread You are not alone. But you are a big soft-arsed tit, yes. Grin

MenopausalHaze · 12/11/2011 21:29

Thank you! Yes, I know there's another thread!

It was cold in the garden!!!

Don't read the other thread Menopausal. Some of us don't like the ad. Shock

molepom · 12/11/2011 21:33

Oh you buggers..I've just googled it to watch it and now I'm here with tears running down my face.

MenopausalHaze · 12/11/2011 21:34

Grin @ molepom

What's not liked about it Sparkling?

ginmakesitallok · 12/11/2011 21:38

Awww just googled it and I LOVE it!

Sparklingbrook · 12/11/2011 21:39

a) What child is asleep at 8am Christmas morning, and why has the sister not already woken the parents?
b) It's a bit bleak like an NSPCC ad.
c)We don't know what's in the box. (Possibly severed head or sister)
d)The murdering of the song.

And many many more. Perhaps you do need to read the thread-some of them are loving it like you. Grin

ginmakesitallok · 12/11/2011 21:41

it just reminds me of believing in Santa and always asking him to bring my Mum something for Christmas

MenopausalHaze · 12/11/2011 21:41

OH said there was probably a severed head in the box! Will go read the thread!

I only cried for 5 mins. Grin

sunshineandshowers13 · 12/11/2011 21:44

me too Blush

was sitting thinking it was about kids being really excited and impatient for their pressies - then. . .

honestly shed more than just A tear

SirHumphreyAppleby · 12/11/2011 21:46

I cried. I thought I was made of sterner stuff. Pre-kids this would not have happened.

MenopausalHaze · 12/11/2011 21:47

Grin SirHumphreyAppleby - it's been a good few years now since my boy was that age and that cute but I remember it so well - happy times and I think that's what made me dissolve!

SirHumphreyAppleby · 12/11/2011 21:50

Mine is 3 so will be the first year he will know what is going on Smile

HedgeHop · 12/11/2011 21:52

I thought it was awful and it was far too long. vomits

Sparklingbrook · 12/11/2011 21:53

Yay HedgeHop. Correct!

ItWasABoojum · 12/11/2011 21:53

Yup. I'm crying now and I don't even have kids. Swines.

pictish · 12/11/2011 21:54

both DH and I were pretending to each other that we didn't have moist-eye after that ad.

And sod the hand-wringing about Mozza, he's a money-grabbing old queen, he won't be giving a shit that someone's done over his song.
