To not like the John Lewis christmas ad this year

[MumOfOneAllAlone]

Another light hearted one from me 🤭

I like the fact that it's all women but it isn't moving enough this year tbh

A bit of a let down

It’s a bit chaotic and I want to know the gift chosen!

Have you seen the Guardian’s thoughts on it?

I found it really touching. I don’t know if you have a sister - I do and I’m always weepy about anything to do with the sister bond!

But you aren’t unreasonable for not liking something, of course. Everyone has different preferences. I loved last year’s which seemed to be fairly universally panned, but I wasn’t super keen on the Man on the Moon one despite it being so beloved.

I love it. And have been playing Urban Hymns all morning!

That Guardian article is brilliant.

Hang on - what happened to the pink jumper with the blob of jam and piano version of 'Make you feel my love'?

I'm VERY confused now.

I thought it was going to reveal she had died!

It’s ok, like others I found it a bit chaotic but loved the all-women focus.

Loved that Guardian article. Have just checked out the ad and I loved it actually, made me shed a tear.

I have three sisters but don't really feel any emotional pull from it... It's fine, I don't hate it, but I can't say it stirred anything.

Just read it 😄, it's good

Yeah, it's just fine, I got more feeling out of the boots and lidl adverts. And the sad o2 one 🤭

I do but we're estranged - that actually could be it, I'm quite numb to any sister stuff now

I can see how it could be touching - isn't it also a bit short though?

Underwhelming and mildly irritating.

Making a big drama out of nothing

Why irritating? Defo defo underwhelming, had my chest feeling hollow and tin like

The ad, not you OP!

😄😄 me too, I was expecting more

How dramatic she was being

I felt like the ad didn't do enough to make the dramatic emotion from her make sense 😕

😄😄 I can't even post an emotional response for everyone to see!

yeah, I still don't know what's dramatic about buying a gift for your sibling?

It's a bit crap.

I usually avoid The Guardian, but that was hilarious. The absolute drowning of sarcasm has cheered up my morning enormously.

I loved it! Made me feel teary, thinking about my sister

I felt like I was missing something. I found it quite confusing and then the end was very meh.

Love the Waitrose ads with Matthew McFadyen and co.
