WATCH: The John Lewis Christmas advert is FINALLY here
Published at 7:02am 15th November 2018. (Updated at 4:16pm 15th November 2018)
This is often seen as the start of Christmas for some of us and now the John Lewis Christmas advert is FINALLY here.
The Boy and the Piano stars Sir Elton John - with a look back at the singer's life and career.
It starts with Sir Elton sitting and playing the piano, all to the backing track of his hit Your Song.
Posting the video on its YouTube page on Thursday morning, John Lewis said it is all about a "special gift".
"This year’s story is about the power of a gift. And how that gift inspired, changed and influenced the course of a little boy’s life. That little boy just happens to be Elton John.
"The film begins in present day and works backwards chronologically through Elton’s life right until the moment on Christmas morning when he received the special gift that changed his life".

This is not the first time Sir Elton has done a TV advert - remember the Cadbury commercial from the 80s?
So, what do you make of this year's advert?
You have been sharing your comments on Spirit FM's Facebook page this morning - and it is a mixed bag!
Jo said: "Very good but nothing will beat the animals on the trampoline a couple of years ago."
But Cat said: "Very disappointed this year, I get the message but yo be honest it about Elton John,where is the cute teddies and the oaps and little kids."
Paula commented: "I think it’s lovely."
And Mark posted: " t's ok, ones in the past are better, A gift is a gift & something special, a piano though? How many kids will get a piano, just to promote Elton John really seeing as he is doing one last tour!!!"
