    I don’t watch tv so I avoid this crap.

    Christmas isn’t just for christmas, it’s for 2 whole months.

    I’m no fan of Christmas in November but, that is indeed another cracker from the masters of the Christmas ad campaign 🙂

    Nicely shot, produced, graded, composited, flame work etc
    Hackneyed sentimental dirge.
    Customers and client will love it.

    I’m not really into Xmas, but the John Lewis ads are always worth watching.

    Last year they killed a bear by waking it up halfway through its hibernation. Now they’re boxing up penguins for Chrimbo. Sad stuff.

    You can tell Mabel’s a girl penguin – she has eye lashes 🙂

    [edit] although asking nearly a 100 quid for a 45cm tall soft toy seems a tad ambitious.

    I think you must be CG. Statistics show that by christmas eve the average person in Britain will have seen it exactly 53,692 times. Even if they don’t own a tellybox 😯

    Yep, manipulative too- some pretty cynical tugging on the strings

    But they do always do it very well!

    I probably won’t see it “in the wild” but I’m going to watch it on Youtube so I can disapprove. If it’s actually good I won’t admit to having seen it.

    Anyway, if it’s not the Toys R Us or coca cola holidays-are-comin’ christmas advert, it sucks.

    I was going to agree, but then I thought you said JLS Xmas ad.

    It nearly got dusty in here

    Someone, maybe JLS, need to put a bullet in this one. You’re not a stoic marine who has just seen his buddy take one in the face, when he’s only three days from retirement. You’re just a bit of a ponce, who cried at an advert. 8)

    Not a misery guts, just not a Christian.

    Christmas day is great: the roads are empty, the hills are empty, and I get the day off 😈

    If that lasted for 2 months of the year I’d be thrilled…

    just not a Christian.

    Not sure that’s relevant?

    Most people just treat it as an opportunity to spend time with their family doing stuff they enjoy/having huge rows after too much alcohol, what’s not to like?

    Pff, christmas in the uk has bugger all to do with being a christian, it’s about time off work, buying stuff, and eating til you vomit. Much better. No it’s not pagan either.

    I was in Starbucks today, they were playing Rod bloody Stewart doing Christmas songs while the staff were wearing elf hats and antlers, in November in Jakarta where it’s 35c.

    Aha, the Christmas is Pagan reply!

    It’s almost like people expect everyone to be shocked when they say that.

    Surely everyone knows this by now (apart from old misery guts with no tv obvs 🙂 )

    Still on the first page and it’s boiled down to religion already.

    Christmas isn’t pagan; the Victorians invented Christmas along with Scottishness and quite a lot of other mawkish sentimental carp. I’m coming round to the idea that the Victorians also wrote the Bible.

    Christmas was invented by the illuminati to distract us all from their lizard based intentions.

    That’s one of Li’l J’s fave books.
    He’s going to want his own Penguin if he sees the ad.

    Don’t worry. I’m the same with the Safestyle UK ads.
