John Lewis Christmas Advert

Ha ha ha no ones mentioned elf and safety yet

Sorry Ginny but i would have had to comment about cost of the ad- i do like it- but only cause my GS loves dragons- however i was compelled to email them at waitrose to ask why items for sale aimed at kids,had NO allergy- free alternatives in the food items-& theyre going to 'put it to the board' or some such.(to fob me off) but maybe they can use some of the millions on developing those instead? I do like the ad,but its a bit too long winded- and yes i dont see what its actually got to do with christmas,apart from he lights a christmas pud at the end.But thats not much is it.

Primark have a caff? Which branch please?

Surely the splinter group knew theyd be sussed out Gaunt47?Seeing as they dont exist and all?...

It's very good. I enjoyed it but I only enjoy Christmas adverts so many times. I love the one, (I think it's Argos) where the little girl plays the drums with her daddy. She is so for real and I am not tired of watching it yet, which is something.

'A dragon is for life, not just for Christmas'

Be warned, Anniebach
Here's one to be going on with

Thank you Callistemon I have a red dragon flag but want the real thing.

And looking at the amount of cardboard boxes for recycling how much easier having a dragon ?

Yes phloem some of us still do celebrate the birth of jesus,but we can still like a mince pie,a christmas pud,or a baby dragon..... yes,i like it better than the Elton John one,that was like a advert for EJ fanatics,so i hope he paid for that himself....

I must go,ive to pick up my waitrose order with the dragon storybook as they had NO dairy/soya free Edgar cupcakes or biscuits to buy so i got my GS the book as i do advocate a good read as well...

I think the message is about caring,which is what the girl is doing,caring about her friend the dragon,and also the dragon cares,so wants to help,or give something,hence,the lighting of the pud,as he's been helpful.??

Just love the ad.

I like the advert think it’s great

Sadly not Phloe.

I have to send my Christmas cards carefully as not everyone would appreciate a Nativity scene.

Thanks for this... I hadn`t seen it. I love my good dragons..

Oh heck! Another one that will make me cry every time it is on!! I wish I was less emotional.

Thank you for that. That's a Wow. Aaaaah.

Make that 3 Bodach & Gaunt.

I love the advert

It was the festival of Mid winter first.....and now again
Hence the lights and food being so important

Everybody hates me so here goes. When did the " Christmas Advert" become a thing?

People lying on our streets, children living in poverty, only today somebody in my area asking for childrens coats, and we worship a Christmas Advert?

*And all eyes
Blind with the pin and web but theirs, theirs only,
That would unseen be wicked - is this nothing?
Why, then the world and all that's in't is nothing;
The covering sky is nothing*

Song is by REO Speedwagon but it's not the original in the ad. From somewhere around 1981/2!

Phloem, I am not a Christian, despite a few attempts. I believe the message of the gospels was caring for others and the birth of Jesus symbolizes hope.

I can quite understand how offensive this spend fest is to Christians.

does not beat Argos, which is up lifting , makes me smile

Horrible. Spoilsport dragon, disappointing all those children. What does it have to do with Christmas?

Pass the sick bucket!
