Of course it is but then so is many other holidays/celebrations for some.

Doesn't mean the rest of us need to be forced to feel the same.

No but they have had two years of cutesy ads, time for a change?

I disagree tbh, we have enough depressing ads on tv as it is without them turning the Christmas ads the same way.

[rubymoo]

I think it's right to highlight the fact that Christmas is miserable for some, and that a small gesture is all that's needed to make someone happy.

. You put it better than I could Ruby

[Josy]

I don't disagree that awareness should be raised I just don't think it should be on a Christmas ad from a big store like JL that's all

[smudgie]

Absolutely love it.
Had me crying like a baba, lovely message behind it all as well.
I think it struck a chord with me as I used to talk to the man in the moon when I was a kid, now I can put a face to him.

I think it's the perfect vehicle to get the point across

[Kazanne]

The million quid used to make that could have made a lot of old people very happy,I't's a nice advert,I like it, but it's just all about money really.

Of course it is, but I think it's nice they got a message in rather than buy buy buy buy, eat eat eat, I'm so over Christmas already

AsdaWalmart

for the biddies.

Once you reach over 65

John Lewis can send a Rocket up once a year.

Ooh I love it

I haven't heard that cover of that song before - was it created for the advert or is it available to download somewhere?
