Obviously trying to keep up with John Lewis, the Everton Christmas ad is lovely.

Created by Harrogate-based The Lift Agency, the ad features a young Evertonian counting the days until Christmas as he works his way through a chocolate advent calendar and sits around looking bored, when he’s not watching/playing football.

The kid has thoughtful parents though and the young Nikica Jelavić fan gets a great surprise for Christmas Day.
