what do you think of the John Lewis Christmas ad this year?

[headfairy]

but then I am very hormonal right now

love it but HATE the cover version - they should have had the Smiths version

loving the comments on YouTube though - comparing the advert to the film Se7en!

Oh sheesh! Hadn't seen it before, but now I'm blubbing too - although the Remembrance Day threads already had me quite sniffly

Hmmm. I preferred last year's tbh.

I think it's because the little boy looks a bit similar to ds... it's the big brown eyes. I'm a sucker for them!

Really?? THAT is what is making everyone cry??

I must have a heart of stone or sommat.

(sniffs)

Lowlevel... but the little boy is so sweeeeet damn I must go and get some chocolate to calm these hormones of mine

(weeps)

Oh man.

Love it.

I want one of the little boys in a Gruffalo outfit for my Xmas!!

I'm very tempted too Rhonda

I'm a marketer's wet dream!

Oh no I am sniffling. Would have been extraordinarily wonderful with the original version of the song....

Oh my goodness, has made me cry too .

I LOVE it. It's made me cry too! I think it's just a lovely sentiment and a brilliant antidote to that HORRIBLE Littlewoods advert.

I know shirley that Littlewoods one is just so common. It's all about greed and gimme gimme gimme, JL is so much more in the spirit of Christmas

It's lovely. Just a little far-fetched. I mean, what excited little boy doesn't wake up until EIGHT o'clock on Christmas morning?

They obviously gave him Medised in his hot chocolate with his Christmas PJ's on on Christmas Eve.

I liked the gentleness of it all as well, DYKWIM? It's not all up in your face SELL SELL SELL! It's subtle and...loving.

Hahaha Taffeta!

I like it but I liked the 2009 one (Sweet Child of Mine) better.

I've been following the wave of Christmas adverts on Facebook and Twitter and I have to say I love the John Lewis advert - just so long as you keep the end scene of Se7en out of your head :) I think the best ad so far is that one - could watch that on a loop, always a sucker for a good snowglobe...

Bet M&S are delighted they chose Xfactor contestants for their ad. I'm sure Frankie is just the image they want to portray!

Nah, I agree they'd sedated him and that's why he didn't get up til 8am. He definitely needed it by Christmas Eve.
