What ...the penguin ? 

 

 

I love the penguin one...the first world war one doesn't fill me with Christmas cheer, in fact it depresses me 

opposite for me  -I quite like the WW1 one - can see why it is depressing though

I would like it in another context...but war/Christmas just doesn't do it for me Ros, we all know the story of it and I really don't want to be reminded of how those young boys spent their last Christmas  Every time I see it, I think of all those letters in the British War Museum

and I can see why...I'm in between sadness and shock they used something like that in a Christmas ad 

yes can see that side - I think they were  concentrating on the humanity sort of happy  angle -  the actor playing the English soldier is nice
