Have you seen the M&S christmas ad ? Much nicer than JL !! really christmassy and makes you feel warm inside , especially at such an unsettled time in the world .

Ah, that's nice! Warms the cockles of your heart. Perhaps I'm starting to feel a little bit Christmassy after all smile

Oh yes, I like this one smile Sassy, and touching. The JL one left me cold this year. Off to look at Waitrose's offering....

When I was a teenager we had a lovely Boxer bitch. She wasn't specially slobbery, was the most friendly dog and was my best friend - very bouncy too; what a shame we didn't have a trampoline in those days. I like Buster a lot!

The Waitrose one with the robin flying home is lovely ( although I like the m and s one too) .

I do that. #soddingdiet

DD had a boxer cross, delightful dog but prone to drooling especially if he smelt food!

And awfully long...

I know there's probably a short version, but I found it rather tedious. And Mother and Father Christmas were just too young!

Just watched the M and S one and don't like it at all boring and sickly

Candlefran Sat 12-Nov-16 13:08:00

The spoof one is very good. I don't think the M and S hits the spot. No soul. (wonder why that would be)

Candlefran Sat 12-Nov-16 13:06:00

Shall I do that post again? (new keyboard)

Well, that one (the dog) had had its chops wiped jalima. smile

Candlefran Sat 12-Nov-16 12:58:21

WSell, that one had had its chops wiped. Thak the Lord. (to jalima)

M&S trying to do trendy again. No kid wants trainers from Marks! More emphasis on the food side would be a better advert. This is not going to up their fashion sales. Really disliked, sorry to say and will get the whizz through.

I don't like the marks advert - I prefer aldi and john lewis . Loved the spoof ones of jl and the other with trump etc

I love the takeoff of it on FB

I couldn't manage the whole John Lewis advert. Too sickly.

Jalima Sat 12-Nov-16 10:06:20

are boxers cute? They usually have a long stream of slobber coming out of their mouths [yuk]

(apologies to any boxer owners on here)

Jalima Sat 12-Nov-16 10:05:23

but the M&S one has a naughty dog Db wink

ninathenana Sat 12-Nov-16 09:33:48

I've just watched it on youtube, I seem to have a watery eye all of a sudden.
Wins the Christmas adds hands down in my opinion

DaphneBroon Sat 12-Nov-16 09:10:37

Janet McTeer v. cute boxer dog - no contest!! Dog wins every time smile ?

harrigran Sat 12-Nov-16 09:09:29

Yes, M&S have managed to get something right this year. I thought it was very slick, not cloyingly twee or overly PC.
I like Kevin the carrot too.

Greyduster Sat 12-Nov-16 09:04:34

Janet McTeer! Wonderful! Eat your heart out John Lewis!

Jan51 Sat 12-Nov-16 09:02:25

Haven't seen the M&S ad yet but the Aldi one is lovely. Wasn't that impressed with the JL ad. As someone said on a fb thread, it would have been nicer if they had laughed at the dog bouncing and the little girl had joined him on the trampoline.

I think the tradition was started by Woolworths many years ago, it was always very good and seemed to start Christmas off.
I still miss Woolies.

DaphneBroon Sat 12-Nov-16 08:48:28

Janet McTeer, of course!
