Christmas store adverts.

Gin

Just watched the John Lewis one, the tears are falling fast. I am not easily moved to tears but being of advanced years and still with my DH it really hit me how lucky I am.

That's odd - it was reported that the John Lewis Christmas advert will not be released until tomorrow 🤔

Is it a spoof?

The John Lewis ad isn’t out yet. Every year people fall for the Sam Clegg , John Lewis inspired charity ads.

Some of the stores in U.S. have Fall and Christmas decorations out at the same time. On Facebook people are showing their homes decorated for Christmas. You can't even enjoy the present season with people in a hurry to go to the next one.

Does anybody remember the Sainsbury's Christmas advertisement for 2014? I found it tacky and disrespectful to those who died in WW1.

It's the 3rd of November and so far this evening I've seen four Christmas TV adverts! I'm now sick of it and we've a few weeks to go! I hate the whole Christmas thing and this compounds my loathing of it even more! Just stop foisting it on us! I don't bloody care what M&S, Asda and Sainsbury's have in their shops!!

I’ve seen the Amazon ad several times this evening, the one with the three older ladies tobogganing down a hill with cushions inside the toboggans. It always makes me laugh - it could be me with a couple of friends!!

Does it feature a mixed race family?!!!!

You know, their typical customers. The ones I never see at their massive store at Cribbs!

What?? I have a mixed race family and we go to John Lewis at Cribbs all the time?

Maybe I misunderstood your point?

We have too, not sure if they shop at Cribbs, must ask them. I'm sure they do.

I think they all be banned from being shown on TV until the beginning of December or even later if possible.

Hate all the false, tacky, cheesy stuff they churn up.

Not exactly the spirit of Peace and Goodwill to all men.

The real John Lewis Christmas advert is out this morning on the website. Where Love Lives.

As usual it will divide the crowd, but I love it.

Blimey that sounds like a Reform quote NASTY

I can't believe I was taken in by the spoof advert!!! Silly me.

Just seen the authentic John Lewis Ad - one for the boys this year, rather emotional 🥲

The Sam Clegg spoof John Lewis Ad is a real tear jerker as always.

Such a clever young man 👏👏👏

I used to like the way John Lewis always held their advert back until after Remembrance Day. Not any more, it seems.

I love that Amazon ad.

It was my favourite last year.

I'm not liking this year's John Lewis offering. Mind you, their adverts have been going downhill for a few years.

Amazon have had the best. I love last years which I've seen a few times. Wondering if they've decided against doing one this year.

M & S should change from Dawn French, I can't stand her and it really puts me off using M & S. She has been used by them for far too long.

Check out the Boots one…cute!

I thought I had read that M&S weren’t using Dawn French anymore?

John Lewis ad has right idea but hopeless song. The music is as important as the message and should strike a chord with the viewer. Did anyone recognise the song they used to take dad down memory lane?
Like the fact it centred on giving from men.

But does that mean John Lewis has gone retro and is selling vinyl now?
🤔

Mushy but not witty.

I think it would be odd if adverts were made specific to this one location which, according to the census has so few people of Mixed or Multiple ethnic groups

Not only people who live near Cribbs Causeway shop there. It's a large out-of-town shopping complex.

Anyway, the post was irrelevant as the JL advert hadn't been released anyway and that one was fake.

... it's obviously celebrating you keepingquiet and Allira!
