Warning: You may tear up.
Transience and the passing of time are the theme of this year's iconic Christmas ad from a midlands pub.
JJ Hough's Singing Pub in Banagher has released its annual ad, the 8th of its kind, which has become a staple at this time of year for the Offaly bar.
This year's short film features the story of a man who embarks on an adventure to deliver a bag of presents lost from the town back in the 80s.
Here's a snippet of the 2023 edition of the ad:
