Being an advertising girl and a complete sap, I love holiday commercials. Seriously, some of them make me sob. I know, it’s ridiculous. But everyone once in a while a great ad comes along that just makes you smile.

The one from John Lewis below is one of those. From the little boy, to the song to the way time seems to stand still for him: it’s perfection. Especially in a season when it becomes all about what we are getting, rather than giving, this ad hits it right on the head. It’s better to give than receive. Enjoy!
