    I got one of them with my clubcard statement.
    I thought it was a nice touch. :)

    I like it. It's a great piece of branding.

    I like it - bit of a slow burner but quirky! Reminds me of a Wes Anderson movie

    Saw it last night, and despite being a Wes Anderson fan it didn't really do much for me... thought it could have been better.

    Though I'm starting to think, as I get older the adverts simply aren't as good as they used to be, they're being over thought or are too restricted by the PC brigade to resemble my idea of a christmas advert... I must have a hankering for nostalgia or something... most of the new stuff simply doesn't match the memories of youth.

    I'm just thankful the old An Post, Kelloggs, Budwiser and Coca-Cola ads can be found on Youtube, I must make a playlist of them all. You are right the old ads will never be beaten.

    I don't know if anyone has posted this yet...

    I don't even know what it's an ad for, but it IS a Christmas ad and it's absolutely adorable. DO watch!

    "While shepherds watched their flocks by night..."

    Ok. It's from a few years ago. But it is an ad, for Samsung (apparently)

    I really MUST get off blinkin' Youtube and do some work....but...

    Oh no, it's lovely! It just doesn't beat the Lidl one for me as the best ad we've had this Christmas :)

    Anybody know where the house is located??

    I'm assuming it's somewhere in the Wicklow mountains...maybe Glenmalure...but just curious...
