'That' Littlewoods Ad
'My mother'
I've just seen on *clears throat* a post about the My mother ad Littlewoods have got out at the moment. now, I don't like it overly, as my children say it's a bit nauseating and (again as my children say) those kids sound a weeny bit spoilt but hey ho, I know lots of people spend a lot more than us at Christmas, and others spend less. We all have our traditions and our ways of doing things. But what interested me is that this lady is calling for the ad to be banned, and there are a lot of people on Facebook calling for the same, on the grounds that it spoils the secret of Christmas and tells children that Father Christmas doesn't exist (which I, of course, know is not true, just like Doctor Who is real. I know, I met him (Actually I've met both of them).)
What do you think? Has the advert given away any secrets? Is it turning our children into mercenary creatures? Is it cute or icky?
