John Lewis Christmas Advertisement









       The advertisement made by John Lewis for Christmas in 2012 told a story between two snowmen. On the Christmas Eve, kids made two snowmen, one with scarf, the other with no scarf. Feeling sorry for the other snowman, the snowman wearing the scarf traveled long distance just to buy the other snowman coats as Christmas gift to help her get over the chilled winter. The hauntingly beautiful music flows along with the scenes how the snowman got over so many difficulties to buy the gift was so emotional. The sweet smile was so remarkable when the other snowman had put on the new clothes. It just reminded me of the smile of my parents when I put on my new clothes on the New Year’s Eve, and I just felt so cared for. I believe, not only myself, any other people who saw the two personalized snowmen would always thought of their families and friends, and the care and love they received from them. Not until the end of the advertisements did the company mentioned the name of the department store, John Lewis. Actually this is the biggest and most popular department store in Britain with 138 years of history. Frankly speaking it isn’t necessary to spend so much time and effort on advertising this department because it has already been the largest and most successful department store known by everyone, but the department store spent almost $7 billion on it. I personally really appreciate the sincerity of the department store, its kind and considerate to convey some happiness and warmth to whoever sees the story the advertisement tells.
