    The nerd in me loves it and the fact that it shows a girl succeeding in STEM

    I love the fox in the opening frames of the VISA ad - how did they film that? :-)

    and the emphasis on small local business: all nice

    I just got a chance to watch these with the sound on:

    Visa, Very and Tesco are good.

    The argus one made me laugh when the elf robbed the sellotape.

    The heathrow one, mother of god, Ive just checked in to a hotel in Kuwait after a flight here and knowing we can't make it home for Christmas made the room very dusty. I will write strongly worded letter saying you can have a good expat christmas.

    My favourite this year so far is the Heathrow one. Being an Expat, for me Christmas is: Coming Home. And the Teddies, ahhh !

    Lidl's I was disappointed; Tesco's I like, everyone can see something they relate to.

    Cadbury's is very cute.

    Visa's I like too, as I do support my local shops. Day Lewin, the Fox is a Pro as starred in the Guinness ad before !

    Very dissapointed with the M&S one. Now, granted I'm not a fan of Holly Willoughby as I find her very insincere but wasnt she the face of Very/Littlewoods/Some other online retailer? Strange choice se3ing as M&S are struggling with sales at the moment.

    It also makes it look like she's shilling stuff like she does in ads and not an "Xmas concept advert" like previous versions.

    Not mad on the M&S one, especially after last year's Mrs. Claus one which I loved.

    For me the winner this year so far is the Heathrow Bears. Followed by the Sainsbury one, the only thing that slightly puts me off the Sainsbury ad is that I feel its too like the film Nativity and I feel like Ive seen it before (the plug bit makes it though :D) The Marks & Spencer one is brutal especially after the likes of the Paddigton Bear M&S ad this one is just completely forgettable. Have to say I dont really get the hype around Kevin the Carrott either, I did like the truck one but didnt like how in the next one it was just forgotten, I thought it would lead to more of a story.

    I remember a few years back.... after a long Saturday putting up decorations inside and outside the house , including the tree , it was around ten at night , I opened a can of cold Guinness and sat on sofa , turned on TV and.just relaxed. A few mins later I heard a bong ... the Guinness Xmas as came on . Right then , Christmas started.

    So every time I hear that first bong of Xmas , that's the sign Xmas is around the corner.

    To me, the best Christmas Ad !
