Alright, alright I know that you like them to be funny but here’s a very lovely, even schmaltzy, commercial that’ll warm the cockles of your heart at least the first couple of times you see it.  Here’s one produced for the UK retailer, John Lewis, which Wikipedia tells us is an employee-owned UK partnership which operates John Lewis department stores, Waitrose supermarkets and some other services.  The company is owned by a trust on behalf of all its employees — known as partners – who have a say in the running of the business and receive a share of annual profits, which is usually a significant addition to their salary.  The group is the third largest UK private company in the UK.

Here’s their 2012 Christmas advert which I don’t think is a as good as their 2011 one but you be the judge.
