Default Christmas adverts.

I have looked through and can’t find a thread.
Anyhow, I have just watched the John Lewis advert and I am now a wreck.
The music and the whole story…beautiful, very tear jerking.

Lovely to see none commercial adverts all the time.

Slight tangent but Disney started installing Christmas decorations 1st November !!

In fact they were spraying snow on buildings and rooftops late October .

Interestingly they are playing Christmas music but only instrumentals for now - which is ok ..

Oh good point, it doesn't look like JL have actually released their ad yet so that's disappointing. It's a fraud

…(…I believe…)…that the actual commercial/please buy my products John Lewis Christmas ad is centre on a pink sweater…I have seen bits of it but not the whole thing atm…the beautiful send me a sign one above is a charity one by Sam Clegg and inspired by the John Lewis ads…this is the info given on YouTube below it…

Introducing the 2024 charity Christmas video and advert, inspired by the heartwarming John Lewis Christmas adverts. The charity single, "Send Me a Sign," has been created to make a meaningful difference. Every Ł0.79 purchase of the single will go directly to two UK-registered charities, Re-engage and Friends of the Elderly, helping to bring support and companionship to those facing loneliness every day. Please share the advert if you enjoyed it! I created both the video and song from scratch on a budget of less than Ł500, aiming to raise awareness.

Your contribution could make this season brighter for so many. Buy "Send Me a Sign" today, and let’s make 2024 a year of hope and connection for those who need it most.

Here is the link to purchase the single on iTunes: https://music.apple.com/gb/album/send...

Here is the link to purchase the single on Amazon: https://amazon.co.uk/music/player/alb...

I hope that isn't their ad. There's nothing beautiful about being bereaved. If I'd seen that advert in the few years after my first husband died I would have been inconsolable with grief. I thought Christmas was supposed to be a happy time. But hey, so long as sales are on the up, who cares? Merry ****ing Christmas.

Awww, makes it even better, knowing that it’s for charity for the elderly.
So many people spent a lifetime with a partner and then left alone without them.

Yes, why not actually take us through the moment of loss and then to the funeral so people can go ahhhh... Beautiful. Nothing more Christmassy than other people's abject misery. I was 31 when I was widowed.... Fa la la la la, la la la la.
