    ive just seen this for the third time and I still teared up! What is wrong with me?
    :love30:
    I just love Christmas though, it can't come soon enough for me:yay::yikes:.
    Anyway what do you guys think of it? Am I just a soppy, hormonal old bugger or did it pull your heartstrings too?

                  Hi @Loki I found the add really emotional too :doh:I'm a soppy twit at heart! :doh:
                  I'm feeling rather excited about Christmas this year, it's the first time I've looked forward to it for a while after I lost my nan 3 years ago I said I'd never put up a Christmas tree again! But this year in putting up three! One for every year I've not had one, nan loved Christmas & always made it special, I've decided I'm going to try to make Christmas really special for my family just like nan used to :santa sleigh:.

                    Can't stand Christmas as it's full of hassle and always a complete anticlimax. I haven't seen the JL ad and don't understand why ads at Crimbo have now become a big deal. :dunno: It just illustrates how much Xmas is driven by commercialism. I much prefer spring and the warm weather so I can sow lots of seeds for the garden. Bring it on! :hapfeet::hapydancsmil::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

                      :smile: I think it's a work of art.........Take a look.
                      You DO have to use your imagination though.
                      Take it for what it is artistic entertainment.

                        What I love about Xmas is when garden centres reduce loads of stuff to knock down prices to make room for Xmas trees.
