— Neil Gaiman (1960)

"Los libros son grandes regalos porque tienen mundos enteros dentro de ellos. Y es mucho más barato comprarle a alguien un libro que comprarles el mundo!"

"Christmas is built upon a beautiful and intentional paradox; that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home."
— G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

" La Navidad se basa en una bella y deliberada paradoja; que debe celebrarse el nacimiento de las personas sin hogar en cada casa. "
— G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

Anuncio de Navidad

A really cute and creative John Lewis Christmas Advertisement of 2011. The slogan "For gifts you can't wait to give" and the song of The Smiths, here performed by Slow Moving Millie, "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" are really great.

Un anuncio de Navidad encantador y creativo de 2011, de John Lewis (unos grandes almacenes ingleses). El lema "Para esos regalos que no puedes esperar a dar" y la canción de The Smiths cantada por Slow Moving Millie son un acierto.

If you want, you can also watch this year advertisement, The Journey, as original and sweet as this one.

Si queréis, también podéis ver el de este año "El viaje", tan original y dulce como este.
