    4-2 win for AnPost... not too bad a beating for Sainsburys, thought that would advance further, actually!

    I dont really consider the ESB one a christmas advert, so for that reason will go with McD's. Though fully expect ESB to win this one.

    Really like both ads but the ESB was, for me, never associated with Christmas so McDonald’s reindeer it is.
