A Touching Ad For The Holiday Season

John Lewis on making the people in your life feel special this holiday season.

Nov 28, 2016

There is no denying that Thanksgiving and Christmas have somewhat of a rivalry between themselves. Me? I am definitely Team Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, I love the mashed potatoes and colorful leaves and family get-togethers as much as the next person. There is just something about the lights, the crisp air, the hot cocoa in themed mugs, the smell of pine trees, and the feeling that as terrible as your year may have been, it will somehow end well, that makes me long for this time of year more than any other.

Since my travels to London, I have looked forward to the John Lewis commercials every year unfailingly. Although this year’s advert was definitely cute (#BusterTheBoxer), something about the 2015 release has made me love Christmas all the more.

Life is tiring. Life is busy. Life is also too demanding of our own time that we often forget to pay attention to the people who make it worthwhile. To quote cancer-kicking Regina Brett, "Your job won't take care of you when you are sick, but your friends will." Let's not forget to stay in touch with those who we may not have seen in awhile. Even more so, let's not fail to make the people in our lives feel special.

So, without further ado, the 2015 John Lewis Christman Advert.

WARNING: TISSUES ADVISED (I cried. What can I say? I’m a melt.)

It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
