Quite an amusing review of it in The Guardian -

It's just about buying stuff- which is the whole point of Christmas.

I haven't watched it anyway!

It’s manic not understandable and a massive waste of money

I read a John Lewis representative saying that it doesn't necessarily have to be a sister, or even a family member. It can be anyone, a friend, a teacher, a carer - anyone who deserves your time in carefully choosing the right present for them. No one is dead.

They hug outside the store so very much alive!
I think it’s about choosing the right present for someone you love because they are special and the reasons/memories (in this case childhood) connected with them

Ok so , John Lewis Christmas ad is causing much discussion between me and OH, What is it about? Is the main character dead ? Is her sister dead ? Is no one dead ? Is she just mourning the spirit of Christmas past ? We are stuck !!!
