I’m amazed I’ve not seen this on here yet (maybe I’ve missed it?).

Alternative John Lewis Christmas ad put together by a local (to me) pair:

Alternative John Lewis ad

Very nicely done and more importantly, really brings home the important stuff to remember at this time of year: other people.

I’ve watched it a few times and shed a tear each and every one of them.

A bit more on the making of it…

Thanks for posting the link, really poignant

Well done 🙂

Having had my dad in hospital a few times this year, it’s a bit dusty in here…

Much better than the adverts trying to sell us more crap.

Simple yet incredibly effective that.

Nice one OP. 👍

Brilliant – got a little dusty here! I shall be spending much of the Christmas holiday helping homeless people enjoy the festive period otherwise I would be spending it on my own.

And here’s this years effort from the same pair of film makers:

This is Our Home

Another tear-jerker, I’m afraid!

Jees, that is a tear jerker, what a lovely advert!

Both fantastic.

Yes- it’s a shame they don’t get more widespread recognition (and donations to the charities they create the films for).

The one with the little boy and the puppy is very good. Went on and made a donation to guide dogs straight after!
