It’s definitely getting near to Christmas when you see the John Lewis Christmas advert. I love them because they don’t bombard you with the stuff they’re selling like the other shops do. 

They're always classy and send a slushy sentimental message about love and that’s what Christmas is about really. Not the crass commercial mountains of presents, just getting something special for someone you love.

So here’s this year’s advert called The Journey where a little girl’s snowman goes on his own personal journey but I won’t spoil it and tell you why. 

Just watch the advert and listen to the lovely version of The Power of Love by Gabrielle Aplin. Much nicer than the Frankie Goes to Hollywood's version!

  2. I really try not to watch adverts if I can help it. I tape movies with adverts, and zip right through the adverts when I watch the movies.

  3. Ah but this one is more of a lovely little story not like other adverts at all. That's why it's special!

  5. Well now, that was lovely!

    A few observations:

    1. I've never seen a snowman go so far for love. I was really worried for him as he prepared to cross that stream!

    2. I've never seen a snow woman with a wig of pine needles. Beautiful!

    3. I've never heard the Frankie Goes to Hollywood version of that song.

    Thanks for today's smile, and for showing me the only ad I'm sure to really like this season.

  10. John Lewis always come up with classy adverts, but I have to admit I haven't shopped there for over a year now! I've done all my shopping on-line this year!
