John Lewis Christmas Advert

You obviously do not live in a UK enclave, where Iceland and Lidl supply mince pies, but you can stock up on Turron - lovely almond Christmas delicacy

I'm addicted to iced top mince pies. I can't stop myself. I'm eating almost a box a day!!!
Pregnancy craving? Someone help me.

Misses the point of the thread entirely.

annsixty I agree with you it's lovely and I'm sure I won't get fed up with it either. I'm about to send the link to my granddaughters in Australia, they will adore it.

I think maybe the message is also about how some of us are a little bit different (or a lot) and other people cannot see past the differences.

My youngest grandchild loves the advert, I am going to buy her an Edgar as a present, she is at university but she is still my
little girl ?

Can you buy them online Annie ?

Lisa, I just checked, John Lewis is selling them and you can ordered on line.

Haven't seen it, probably won't see it, won't be buying any landfill.

That's a great idea Anniebach.

annibach! I'm getting one for my youngest daughter! She's a teacher but never too old for a wee dragon! She loves the advert so that's a good stocking filler!

Excitable Edgar

I know when they FaceTime me Christmas morning when they open their presents she will laugh and I love her laughter.

She messaged me yesterday evening after watching the advert and said ‘he is so cute’ ?

Good my lord, be cured
Of this diseased opinion, and betimes;
For ’tis most dangerous.

I don't hate you grapefruitpip. xx

My teddy hasn't gone to landfill yet grapefruitpip and he must be nearly 70.

(I googled it)

Still got mine, even if he is leaking sawdust. I still kiss his nose occasionally.

When did the " Christmas Advert" become a thing?

I don't hate you grapefruitpip

I think the blame can be laid at the feet of Woolworths

I daren't kiss mine in case his stuffing falls out.
Must mend him some time.

My 27 year old son has my teddy bear that I got when I was one.

Doesn't seem keen on passing it on to his daughters yet!

Please don't keep eating worms at the bottom of the garden, come in, it's cold out there.

and it will soon be Christmas, the season of goodwill

I have goodwill, I don't need a special season .

I have no idea about worms.

All the adverts are either totally manic trying to outdo last years etc etc or they are so sentimental and yucky that you feel nauseous
There are so many great messages they could get across for a fraction of the price I would give my business to any organisation who made a small budget Christmas film and gave the rest to a charity
It’s obscene and I m truly surprised that so many on here think it’s wonderful to waste that kind of money on our Christmas ‘entertainment’

You said everyone hates you (they don't, as they don't know you) but I thought I heard a voice singing over the internet:

Here goes:

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me
I think I'll go eat worms!
Big fat juicy ones
Eensie weensy squeensy ones
See how they wiggle and squirm!

Down goes the first one, down goes the second one
Oh how they wiggle and squirm!
Up comes the first one, up comes the second one
Oh how they wiggle and squirm!

I bite off the heads, and suck out the juice
And throw the skins away!
Nobody knows how fat I grow
On worms three times a day!

[Chorus]
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me
I think I'll go eat worms!
Big fat juicy ones
Eensie weensy squeensy ones
See how they wiggle and squirm!

Woolworths or Pepsi?

Eeeuuurrrgh!!!!!
