This christmas... theres only one place to be.

I know i keep banging on about Christmas but this year i'm really getting into the spirit of things!!! The new Waitrose Christmas ad has tantalised my festive spirit now, created by MCBD (Miles, Calcraft, Briginshaw & Duffy) it features the beautiful voice of rising star Camilla Kerslake. Home is the central theme to the ad, and it really plays on this, tapping into a very wide target market that probably will be returning home for Christmas! Take a look...

Waitrose uses delicious, mouth-watering food as its selling point and this really does prevail over the overall 'Home' theme. Good news for my hungry appetite :-)

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas truly isn't christmas without M&S...

I LOVE CHRISTMAS! It is by far my most eagerly awaited time of the year (obviously nothing to do with the fact that my birthday is 33 days before!) and christmas just isn't festive enough without the good olde M&S adverts being flung in our faces!!

Well, contain your excitement as they are almost here... created by RKCR Y&R, they showcase a good handful of Celebs doing very christmasy things!!

Check it out: http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/thework/news/965561/M-S-wouldnt-christmas-without-RKCR-Y-R/

We see the very intellectual Stephen Fry, the comedy duo of Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, James Nesbitt with his adorable scottish twang, obviously the M&S favourite Twiggy, and the legendary duo that is Wallace and Gromit!! Cracking line up! I am in awe of it already and its still a mere 43 days until the big day! The theme of the advert is witty and very relatable, as each celebrity shares with the audience a memory they have of christmas, and the presents or food they would like, and understandably this can be found all under one roof...

The twinkly music really does set the scene, and i have to admit, when i first saw it my scrooge attitude to christmas (created solely by the ridiculously early and highly irritating DFS ads!) went straight out the window and my festive butterflies excited my tummy!!!

Merry christmas everyone!

Because, lets be honest, christmas wouldn't be christmas without our M&S!

There's a magical place, we're on our way there...

I am so excited! I've just read that Toys R Us are reviving their 1989 'Magical Place' advert and bringing it back to our screens over christmas!! I can't find out who or if they are re-vamping the classic ad (see below) or if they are just using the classic... so if anyone knows pleeease comment!

Just listening to the opening line has brought back so many childhood memories and i could of only been 3 or 4 when the advert was originally released!! Crazy! Im sure everyone has had that "kid in a sweet shop" experience of Toys R Us, overwhelmed by the sky-scraping amount of toys upon toys stacked high up into the ceiling!! For me it's always held memories of a cold winter night, due to my birthday being close to christmas, and still to this day i am reminded of Toys R Us everytime the clocks go back and i venture out into that brisk breeze.

Ill keep u updated if i hear anything else, and please let me know if you hear anything!!!!

Heres hoping for that kiddie sized pink Barbie car this Christmas!
