Anyone sick of the Argos add music?; Yes I know its too early for crimbo

Don't get me wrong, I love crimbo and normally I like seeing the crimbo adds but I miss the argos blue aliens.

The Argos music is neither Christmasy nor entertaining and the fact that Bill Nighy was one of the Aliens in the old add made it even better.

So not wanting to be miserable, what crimbo adds do you like/miss/dislike

Sorry to those who think its too early but you were warned in the title :laugh:

I miss the old Toys R Us adds. In fact I miss coming home from school and seeing the christmas toy adds that were on usually until 18:00. I never got much as a kid so it was the only time I got to see kids playing with those toys :( :laugh:

I have a built in filter that filters out Xmas ads. Even tho I see them time and time again, I couldn't tell you one of them...certainly not the Argos one.

And this year I am filtering out Xmas altogether, as everything that's bad in my life always seems to happen around this time of year!

Ok, this hasn't gone as planned.

I just seem to be digging up reasons why people hate christmas so I think its best to forget this thread.

but hey ho, my dad left us on christmas day when I was 8 to live with his new family. My sister was always ill every christmas and pretty much the rest of the time as well and my mum brought up 3 kids on her own whilst working 4 jobs so it was just me and my sisters over christmas. I was also made redundant twice over christmas but for some reason I try to make the most of things now.

Ho fecking ho

Im not religious in any way shape or form so I don't try and enjoy christmas for that side. I just like all the lights, food and more so the build up like black friday sales etc.

I quite like the house of fraser cimbo add, mainly because the bloke say 'what would you give someone who has everything?' he replies 'a pat on the back'

Makes me chuckle every time, then its ruined by the hair monster women with the part flat part frizzy hair :laugh:

But I have only just seen the sainsbury's add and all I can say is 'superb' it really captures the spirit of crimbo with the WWI 1914 Christmas truce. It physically brought a tear to my eye and the hairs stand up on my neck.

i just hate xmas............spending too much money that you dont have in the first place, buying presents that people dont really want, for people you dont really want to buy for in the first place

watching the kids spend obscene amounts of money on the grandkids, just trying to outdo each other............then in january complaining that they are broke!

bah humbug!............sooner its over the better as far as im concerned
