As a full-blooded Jewish American, I never thought a Christmas ad from the UK would turn me into an emotional wreck. That is, however, until this gem found its way into my life. As I type these words, a solitary tear trickles down my cheek, ever so slightly. The weird part of it is that nobody in my office has noticed that I'm crying right now. I guess that's just par for the course these days. Everyone probably has a pool behind my back to see what time I'm gonna start crying every day. Saying things like, "Oh don't mind Sam, he's just watching commercials and crying instead of adding shareholder value again."
If this commercial can inspire someone who couldn't be further from the target audience, I can't even imagine how those Christians over in London feel. Well done again, John Lewis department stores. Merry Christmas?
