This year's is kind of cute although still seems too early for me. But isn't it a re-run of something, I recall the story of a dragon who caused trouble with his flames and was then hired at the bakery when the oven failed, was that a children's story I read to my children, Denis the Dragon?

Make that 3 Bodach & Gaunt.

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

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

polnan Fri 15-Nov-19 11:02:06

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

Sadly not Phloe.

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

I like the advert think it’s great

Aepgirl Fri 15-Nov-19 10:59:40

Just love the ad.

Nannan2 Fri 15-Nov-19 10:46:35

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.??

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...smile

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.....gringrin 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....

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 ?

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.

Nannan2 Fri 15-Nov-19 10:33:00

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

Nannan2 Fri 15-Nov-19 10:29:15

Primark have a caff? Which branch please?grin

Nannan2 Fri 15-Nov-19 10:26:39

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.

Ha ha ha no ones mentioned elf and safety yet

Gonegirl Fri 15-Nov-19 10:17:16

Not usually in John Lewis.

Phloembundle Fri 15-Nov-19 10:15:56

Does anyone celebrate the birth of Jesus anymore?

Anniebach Fri 15-Nov-19 10:14:27

I want a dragon

jenni123 Fri 15-Nov-19 10:12:07

Hadn't seen it but checked it out on here thanx to B9exchange, have to say I wasn't impressed.

Urmstongran Fri 15-Nov-19 10:09:08

Love that! Thanks gillyknits

gillyknits Fri 15-Nov-19 10:05:30

Thought I’d post this for those of us with a sense of humour ‘’

missdeke Fri 15-Nov-19 10:05:15

annsixty the song is sung by the lead singer of Bastille, Dan Smith.

We tend to look out for the JL adverts and this year's is cute and fun - anything has to be better than last year's Elton John personnal advert for EJ! Like the thread about our little dragon and wouldn't notice its non-PC aspects!
