The John Lewis advert.

I love it, and yes I cried.

(I have that dog in the loft)

Haven’t seen it as yet, but my fave past Christmas ad was the one with the little dragon who was ‘different’ which made me well up every time.😢

I loved it, up there with the best from years past.
Like many we had a ‘pickles’ Fisher Price dog. Our elder son needed a preloved toy for his primary class Bring and Buy charity event.
I donated the FP dog, unbeknown to him.
His little face was in raptures when he came running out having bought said dog for his little brother!

About 10 years ago my daughter worked part time in John Lewis. After the launch of the Christmas ad where the old man was living on the moon looking through a telescope at a family/little girl enjoying Christmas..ect. staff were asked at the morning briefing , what they thought, my daughter said she thought it was creepy....she was told off by her section manager and called hard hearted by some of the long standing staff... poor lass, but she held her ground!
In those days conformity was very strong amongst staff. I believe it has become a lot more relaxed these days.

First time a celeb has acted in it apparently (apart from Elton John playing himself many years ago). I like Dame Kristin Scott Thomas. She is 66y old now!
