    The Vodafone ad and the Spanish Lottery ad really manage to capture the true meaning of Christmas. The Spanish Lottery ad is just lovely.

    I saw the Cornflakes ad the other day and it seemed different to me. Admittedly I was shouting 'Cornflakes ad!! The Cornflakes ad is on!!!! Wait, did they always have the more modern Coke box in it? Since when it the modern Coke box in it? Ah crap, I meant Cornflakes, not Coke.' at the time so I may not have watched it properly but something seemed different.

    Yep it's different cut down version and when the little one says bye it sounds like its been dubbed over with an Irish voice. Still cute maybe we'll see the original closer to Christmas where the older sister says maybe you'll see him next year.

    I love the Coca-Cola 'Holidays are Coming' ad but for the life of me I can't figure out what the lyrics are! It sounds something like "the magic of Christmas is drawing near"...can any Christmas enthusiast help?

    I just saw the Mulberry one and I know some people will not like it but it made me chuckle.

    I've watched this ad 3 times. The first time I watched it without subtitles so I watched it again with them to find out what was going on. I bawled my way through it the second time, and then I showed it to my husband and bawled again. (Hormones!) I've seen loads of people talking online about how wonderful it is and I think it's absolutely awful. There are way better ways to get the whole 'true meaning of Christmas' thing across. I actually can't believe someone signed off on it.

    Wow, emotional blackmail or what!?

    The 'elderly being alone at Christmas' is clearly a big theme this year.

    It's a nice theme because hopefully more people will make an effort with elderly people who are along this year, but that German ad is just wrong wrong wrong.

    TK Maxx have a nice ad about spending time with/giving presents to people you wouldn't normally have much to do with.

    And Toys R Us have done the 'elderly person alone' ad right.

    Lovely examples of people doing things for other people because they want to, not because they have to.

    I thought that the kids in the Edeka ad (German supermarket ) were total asshats leaving their poor dad alone like that. Imagine having to fake your own death in order to get your kids to see you. I felt so sad for him I liked it, and I like the John Lewis ad. But tk and toys RUs are a bit more jolly with a similar message

    Just saw the Paypal ad on TV and I was so confused because I thought they'd agreed not to show it until late at night. Then I remembered that I'm watching a recording that would have been on at about midnight. Then I sat through another couple of ads before I remembered again that I'm watching a recording and should be fast forwarding through them.
