What began life as an idea, which came to me while watching my son play in his bedroom with his back turned to me, has developed over the last 12 months into something very special. Throughout the year, Andy and I threw multiple ideas around with the wider team, before progressing with this and we believe the end product is something our whole team can be proud of. Our aim is always to show an alternative and thought provoking version of Christmas through these short videos, with a story that can be linked to an important charity, to raise awareness and vital funds. Not every Christmas is a happy one and that’s what we want to illustrate in each video we produce. This one was shot in a single day, following strict government guidelines. Everyone was tested and precautions were taken at all times. It’s been a tough year for all of us with this pandemic but please stay strong. Love and help each other always.

Beautiful video - thought provoking. Hopefully it inspires others to support the Guide Dogs Charity and make a real difference ❤️
I think it is great that you're raising money for charity and this advert is good. In my opinion the advert you made last year was a lot better in terms of storyline and overall acting/production/song. But I do think that this video is still quite good, perhaps just not as great as last years advert. Good Job!
That was a little emotional. Yes, I understand about kids who are blind and deaf but that one really pulled up my heartstrings. I’ve been watching other short films on people who are blind and deaf, and how they can be incorporated in life experiences, and that was a good example right there with a little boy and receive it, I seen a dog that’s just a dog but a friend connection it is that what life is supposed to be like are we all supposed to have a connection? I thought it was very poignant of what the message was trying to be said.
Wow 🤩
Another heart warming song. Well done Ben & Andy. Lifted my spirits! Stay safe.,

This is Our Home, originally by a-ha (Magne Furuholmen, 2017) (Great video, by the way!)
For gods sake what is it with Xmas adverts… it’s about children and Santa….not mental health issues , social issues or fights and disputes ……these advertisers need to look back at the the fifties sixties seventies eighties ads,, it’s about santa toys choc snow snowmen sledging parcels undef the tree , with al, the turmoil and pc woke crap going on please let the kids have a childhood at least
Not all the time it’s not. 😊
For many families this time of year is the hardest. Awareness is the key to understanding and helping those reach out ❤
