I miss my father so much. It’s been 20 years (I was 7 years old)but I miss him even more as time passes. He is still watching over me. I wasn’t going to go to my convocation because I didn’t have enough money. Suddenly I got a call from the bank telling that I can get a saving he has been doing for me if I wanted. All these years he was there for me whenever I needed his support. He was so thoughtful❤ He was a soldier so he knew his fate but he made sure that I have a good life even if he’s not here. ❤ My only hope is to be his daughter again❤

Publicly funded, educative non-comm stations like BBC (or YLE, the "bbc" of my homecountry) are important to balance out the overlycommercial, shallow crap that most cm TV channels barf out these days...

I can relate to this. I work shifts and miss so much of my kids plays, events and such. It's an up beat song and a good feeling advert. I'm gonna rethink my job and spend more time with my beautiful family.

Yes, the BBC try hard when they need to get their ratings up over Christmas. We are just viewing figures and licence fee payers to them. Any deeper message to come out of this advert was just an accident on their part. The reality is that they would prefer us to be watching television and not spending time with our families.

Based on MY Dad!!!!.....45 years ago he and my Mum had very little money for Christmas presents one year, so he bought his three sons second-hand bikes, stayed up all through the night after hand-painting all three bikes the same colour and even put some paper snowflakes around them in the morning and held us back from going into the lounge in case Father Christmas was still there.... and screams of three boys rang out rang out as we found them!!!...a room filled with a rare commodity..."EXCITEMENT!!" The following year i went to his works Christmas Party for parents and children and as i went up to sit with Father Christmas to be given a present, i looked in Father Christmas's eyes and suddenly realised at that moment that Father Christmas was MY Dad...he leaned across and said some words i never forgot..."I KNOW YOU KNOW IT'S ME SON...but don't tell anyone ok. They probably would think you are crazy". He's 84 now and after this BBC Advert touched me deeply i gave him an extra hug this Christmas and said "Merry Christmas Father Christmas..a promise is a promise...i never told a soul". He smiled at me, hugged me, looking at me with those same eyes like 45 years was yesterday and said.."Good lad" and winked at me. FATHERS should all be this way with their children. Will always love you Dad.

Just goes to show that you never know how much your parents may be looking on with pride, even if you don’t see it. He knew her act cold even with all the distractions. Even when life tried to get in the way, she was number one.

I show this short to my uncle who is like a father for me, and he remember every single time that besides his work, he moved mountains to be in every single school act were my cousin doing a presentation, and memorize every single action to help them. for me this short is part of his and her lifes.

Really adore this. So many emotions. Excellent.

I've watched this so many times, I love the "sets" a truly cozy home! I love this story of a father and daughter. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT :)

This video makes me cry every time I see it. All I can think of is what I wish I had with my dad when I was a kid.

It's April and I still watch this. Contains the only two things that really matter, music and love.

Such a meaningful piece. Holiday inspired, focused on music and dance with a strong showing of togetherness and unanticipated support. Not to mention the animation and dance moves are fire. A lovely, very significant snapshot of fatherhood and the innocence/dreaming of childhood. Investment like this when a child is so young and impressionable will undoubtedly set them up for confidence and passion for the future. Relatable to anyone and hopefully thought-provoking for everyone. The simplicity of connectedness at its finest. Thank you for this!

So much love for this. BBC Creative should be given Best Animated Short for this masterpiece. Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it.

I the grand scheme of things our lives in this day in age are busy, challenging and difficult. For all of us its very easy to get caught up in work commitments and things we do to support a family. We are distracted by so many things that we can lose sight of the things that matter. I have found that to be true of myself and being a dad of three young children I don’t want to miss those precious moments I have with them. Finding time to be with your family and show them that you care and take interest in what they are doing and helping to build a life is why we do it no matter whether it’s Christmas or not. We have one life folks let’s make the most of it. God bless.

I love this. This was the best advert by far this year by anyone. Brilliant. Where's the bit at the end though? I like the rest of it.

Come here every year to shed a tear or three. Love this advert so much🥹

There's nothing that can take families place. Family is forever, cherish it forever

This short animation tells a story in only 2 minutes with nothing but the animation and the soundtrack, and it's still incredible. I had forgotten I added this to my Favourites list here on KZread, but I was so happy when I came across it again.

1.17.....that beautiful moment which every good human being will connect with...erm, .......no matter the creed, colour or whomever they may be...or wherever they may come from.

I do tend to agree with you. Political correctness has gone bonkers in general, and that Christmas is about the birth of Christ. For many, It's also about connecting more closely with family and friends. For me that's what this video tapped into. I guess they can't cover everything.

My computing teacher showed this to my class, because of how much work went into it. It's truly a great video, with an accurate sweet theme. Well done BBC One, that's all there is to say.

the best the BBC has ever done so beautiful and emotional.
