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

Anyone - am I meant to be puzzled by the pink jumper or what?

😄😄

I don't understand the advert. At first I thought the main character was dreaming, but it seems not.

Oo if you know where to find it, please do share

I liked it. My love for the John Lewis Christmas ad continues.

Yeah, me too, I was confused when I first saw the pink jumper one

I think the pink jumper one also illustrates the point of seeing someone grow up, better than the christmas one

Oh I'm sorry @jewell25 ❤️

Im not a fan of it but can defo see the sentimental side for those who've been lucky enough to share a sister bond x

@Ponoka7 they should do a follow up about the trampoline.
It's now neglected as the novelty of it wore of after 3 months. It's rusty and it's a bloody pain because it takes up most of the garden.
Attempts to sell it failed miserably. Attempts to give away for free on Facebook failed. Even the scrap man does't want it.
The advert - Father Christmas crash landing on it and swearing loudly 😂

Yeah completely agree, don't think it was done well

😄😄😄

@Jewell25 sorry for your loss 💐🩷

😄😄 so true

I'm really sorry for your loss @ilikewinter x

shit, me too. Very powerful for me, for all sorts of complex reasons ...

I like the song it uses and it is the original and not slowed down
The rest is meh
I like Waitrose at Christmastime for some nice good , but rarely go into JL , so no skin in the game really

*Food

I love it! I like that there aren't a ton of products shoved in your face (including the final gift), no shiny food or drink, just the message that just one perfect gift is enough! In this climate I think that's good tbh. And the bit with the mum made me tear up. And the soundtrack is great. I'm a fan!

He's being sarcastic and likes the ad for being honest?

Isn't this the advert? Is there another one? I'm also confused!

rubbish - what am I meant to buy a little fluffy toy of?

Me too! I suppose it’s possible that one year they’ll make one I don’t love but not yet.

Waitrose with the ' who ate all the dessert ? ' ad is good fun.

I really liked it. Made me a bit tearful

I was also waiting for the twist at the end where the sister had died and she was taking a present to the graveyard. The guardian article is spot on.

"Maybe the woman in the shop isn’t thinking about her sister at all. Maybe she tripped forward and hit her head on a clothing rail, and what we’re actually seeing is her life flashing before her eyes as she slowly bleeds out. That’s better, isn’t it? That’s a bit more John Lewisy."

Lol from the Guardian take on it.

I'm a bit face-blind so I struggled to tell them apart as two similar looking women/the girls of different ages, wasn't sure when it was the main character and when it was the sister in the flashbacks.
