Title: Christmas Adverts
Post by: smurfboy on November 20, 2012, 01:19:00 pm
So which is your favourite from this year's crop? Having wanted to vomit at the John Lewis ad for the last couple of years, I actually quite like Mr Snowman risking life and limb to buy his wife a pressie. (Although I do wonder why he didn't just order online. Perhaps he's based in the Scottish highlands.) By contrast, I'm disappointed by the M&S effort. Bring back Shirley Bassey in the ski lodge!

I am trying to pretend Christmas is not happening for a couple more weeks. I have seen the John Lewis one and it's kind of cute.

I don't know about a proper Xmas advert but I'm loving the Kevin Bacon one right now.

I love the John Lewis snowman advert too.  All the other Christmas adverts seem to annoy me .

I still haven't seen it.  I'm determined not to cheat as I'm sure it will appear sometime during the only programme I ever watch that has adverts - The Chase!

Love 623's advent calendar so far (though I'll pretend the vice versas are the earlier recipe not the current crap).
I'm munching my way through the mega expensive Valrhona calendar - which is excellent (shame it was so pricey).
