And for once, I do not mind the ads on tv so much - cozied up under a blanket with a mug of hot tea, watching your favourite program, when one of the rather good Christmas ads come on (how new is this? I mean, the concept of actually good, entertaining, heart-warming tv ads?) I sometimes - gasp - don't get up to do more important things but watch them. Repeatedly. Obviously, ask me again in the middle of December how I feel about them, but for now, these are the ones out already that put a smile on my face:
1) A Classic - the John Lewis Christmas ad. So far I have loved all of them.
2) Boots - not your usual amber-glow ad yet absolutely lovely.
(This one will air for the first time on Sunday during Downton Abeey apparently, so here's a sneak peek)
3) Another Classic, with the original Father Christmas. Of course it's Coca Cola:
4) I really do like the Aldi Christmas advert, featuring Jools Holland:
5) M&S features two fashionable fairies, Magic & Sparkle (I see what you have done here, Marks & Spencer oh you clever ones)
6) Evoking that wonderful feeling when you found just the right present for someone is Debenhams' offering:
7) A heartwarming little tale from Waitrose.
My personal favourite here is John Lewis, - for an advert it pushes the brand surprisingly gently, making it even more effective, in my eyes, for this time of the year.
I would love to hear your favourites, - and I make no apologies for the fact that there will be many more Christmas-themed posts coming up over the coming weeks, so please check back soon!
