Well, it’s that time of year again! Time for the John Lewis Christmas advert and, true to form, it’s a real tearjerker. Especially for fans of the legendary Elton John.
As the familiar dulcet sounds of “you can tell everybody, this is your …

And now, your wholesome video of the week: Rep. John Lewis getting down to Pharrell’s “Happy.”
CBS News chief congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes captured the clip at a campaign event last Thursday for Stacey Abrams, Georgia’s Democratic candidate for governor. As you might expect, it is truly delightful.
Even Pharrell himself approves.

If elected, Abrams would be the first black woman elected governor in the United States. Her race will likely be a nail-biter though, which is why you should watch this video 10-12 times before election day to build up your spirit. Read more…

Adverts are largely terrible and annoying. Anyone who’s seen the work of John Lewis, though — particularly their Christmas ads — will know that they’re often the exception that proves the rule.
Well anyway, they’ve done it again. In the two-and-a-half minute advert above, bored parents at a school talent show are suddenly wowed by a ridiculously impressive cover of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
Give all those children an A+. And spare a thought for the human John Lewis, who’s most likely being inundated with tweets yet again. Read more…

Every year, at the beginning of November, John Lewis starts the Christmas ad season with a tearjerker that leaves an entire country sobbing at their desk at work on a chilly Thursday morning.
But this year, BBC One has stolen the crown for the most emotional, human, heart-warming advert that humbly promises to make you well up and brining a lump to your throat.
The clip, a mix of CGI and stop motion called “The Supporting Act”, features a 10-year-old determined girl who practices everywhere — at home, in the shopping mall, in the streets, at the grocery store — night and day, for her school’s Christmas talent show. Read more…

It’s that time of the year again, which the festive season in Britain starts with department store John Lewis dropping their Christmas ad.
This time, it’s the turn of a child who befriends a monster living under his bed, named Moz the Monster.
The ad, made by Michel Gondry, director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, has naturally received mixed opinions from Brits on Twitter.
Some people had strong views on the monster:
