Happy Post Christmas! Continuation of Christmas ads! You might as well enjoy them until the new year starts.
Onto the super store’s Christmas ads of 2018. I’m just going to be one liner opinions rather than go into each one. Ratings below each ad.
Debenhams – do a bit of you-know-you-did-good
Too cheesy. The grins and big smiles looked quite unappealing to put it politely. Can’t say anymore.

Parcelforce Worldwide
Well, when did the Grandmother fly in from Florida? The parcel must have arrived just before she left… right?
