    Tough one however John Lewis just edges it for me.

    Sticking to 5 votes probably a good idea as pretty quiet at the minute.

    ooh I like both very much. I love the song in the first ad. But I have to go with ESB, as even though (as has been discussed each time!) its not actually a christmas ad, I always thought it was and as soon as I hear it, I think of Christmas! so there :D (Ive a feeling we're gonna lose it in this round though)

    I genuinely laughed out loud at that... I however have faith that fans of Christmas such as our good selves here will ultimately choose an actual Christmas advert to win our Christmas advert competition... if we didn't what does that say about us??

    that Christmas is a 'feeling', a 'memory', an 'ad', that gives us that tingly christmassy feeling, that can come from anywhere!!! (I realise this sounds soppy and sad AF, but, Im trying to neutralise this so ESB gets a chance....) also just for the craic :P

    also from anything I can find online, this was the ESB christmas ad at the time??????
