I LOVE the new John Lewis Christmas advert.

Just makes me weep!

BTW I don't have anything to do with them, just love the ad!

It made me cry too!! Mind you, I'd like to meet a kid who would do that. Mine certainly wouldn't

[mlm]

Very funny.

Did you notice the boy wakes up at what looks like 8am? I would LOVE that as a pressie.

That little boy is in the paper today, his parents say his a very kind boy and his saved his pocket money to buy his brother, mum and dad a present.. And in his letter to santa, he didnt ask for any gifts just a happy christmas and a present for his mum.

Soooo cute

Why do I always fall for this sort of thing! I knew it was going to make me cry but I still went ahead and watched it, Silly pregnant woman that I am! But it really was very sweet! Thanks for sharing x

[clapset]

not sure Morrissey would be so keen with his song being used as an Xmas add - if you want to cry down load the original song!

I've just seen it for the first time on telly and then came on here and saw this thread! It keeps repeating on me and making me well up, totally melted my heart, it's gotta win some awards!

[Eleanorsb]

Clapset, I should think that Morrissey is happily enjoying the royalties that'll be rolling in every time it airs!

[clapset]

Enjoying royalties, may be, once shared with the performer, Marr, Rourke and Joyce. Happy, doubtful.

Well it is very sweet, but as Charlie Brooker says in the piece behind the link, who crys at an advert for a shop?

I agree it doesnt make me cry, but I do wish that my children were like that little boy

Ok, I may not like that saccahrine kid in the JL advert but I dare anyone to watch this and not sob your eyes out, now this is emotion

ps it turns out that the words are all words taken from real letters sent to soldiers by their wives. Makes it super poignant

[moops]

I must be hard, I watched it for the first time the other day and not even a sniffle! I even tried putting on a sad face to make the tears come!

[FrenchMummyInLondon]

lol I must be weird (or maybe it is just because I am French! Ah Ah ) but I really really don't like the JL ad.

It's too gooey for me... and I hope my daughter will believe in Santa's magic for as long as possible - not giving me present by the time she is 5
