    As was predicted by Posy this one was never gonna be tight, but just in case we get a tight match up later today best to be clear about the finishing line.

    John Lewis.

    Reminds me of the first Christmas I had a job and was able to buys presents for my parents and siblings with my own money. Made me feel so proud and I got the whole giving is better then receiving thing.

    A very conflicted vote for John Lewis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭Aisling(",)


    Not mad on either but John Lewis


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,516 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    Thought that may have been a tad tighter, definitely moreso than 5-0 & surprised so many didnt take to either advert, both have a likeability IMO that is missing from many of the more recent (& instantly forgettable) christmas adverts.

    Anyway, we move on.

    He’s a very good Santy!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,802 ✭✭✭snowgal


    Dennys! gutted the perfect surprise one is gone, love that ad. not even a close call!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,516 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    Another tough one for me here, neither are amazing but both have bits I like... I'll go with Denny as it reminds me of my daughter when she was that young and her reactions on christmas morning to seeing what santa had left her & her brother.
