So we've had a couple of weeks to soak in all the Christmas adverts the huge superstores are offering this year, and well there are some breathtaking ones as always! But which really stands out as being the best Christmas advert for 2014?
Of course there's hundreds of adverts we could talk about, but this year there are two in particular that have really got the public talking. The John Lewis advert has always caused a massive emotional wreck of people with their adverts, and this year took a completely new concept to warm people's hearts. The advert follows a young boy, Sam, and his pet penguin, Monty. Showing their adorable relationship in the winter lead up to Christmas day, the elegant musical background and the strong connection between the two of them really shines through, making the viewer feel an immediate love for the two characters. But something isn't quite right. Sam begins to notice that Monty seems distracted and very down whenever he notices a loved up couple during their days together, and Sam really wants to fix this (as show with his cute confused face he pulls throughout the advert which has got us all to fall in love with the young boy!). So for Christmas day, Sam's present to Monty is the gift of love! Monty receives a new female friend, and they instantly connect. But the best bit about the advert comes at the very end, making us all reminisce and feel so weak at Sam's amazing imagination - if you've seen the advert you'll know EXACTLY what I mean!

But although this advert has had a heartwarming affect on the whole family, there's still one other advert which has really got me thinking, and taught me something I had never known before, but definitely should have been taught in the past! The Sainsbury's advert this year really touches on an amazing and breathtaking true story from Christmas Eve 1914, World War 1. I could explain the advert, but I think it would just do the film making no justice, so take a look at it below...
The 4 minute long advert touches on an awe-inspiring moment in history where all is forgotten, and two soldiers can become friends for a short amount of time. I feel this sends out a beautiful message about Christmas time, how it should be a chance to forget all the things that have happened in the past or may happen in the future, and a time just to share love with each other and feel happy. I love the bravery behind this story and think that Sainsbury's have truly shared a story which everybody of all ages should be aware of. Absolutely mesmerising!
