Not that we were, but talking about German supermarkets for a moment (well at least many of us seem to be giving ALDI a bit of a wrap) the EDEKA Group is the largest German supermarket corporation. The big news is that its Christmas advert is beating the UK’s John Lewis and Sainsbury’s on YouTube so I thought you should have a look at them. I love it (although how the old codger contrived to get the relatives there appears to be by a funeral notice but you may see it differently).

So watch EDEKA here (39.5m views) John Lewis here (21m views) and Sainsbury’s here (22.5m views)

Oh, and here’s Woolworth’s or this one (each about 250K views)
