Grandfather fakes his own death in bizarre Christmas advert
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
German supermarket ad tells heartbreaking story of grandfather who had to pretend he died just to get his family together for Christmas!

This is certainly a very teary Christmas ad that shows a grandfathers desperate attempt to get the family together during the festive season.
He went as far as to pretend to have died to enjoy a dinner together as a family.
Tears pooled in my eyes as I watched this family’s joy and disbelief seeing that beautiful face appear from behind the door.
Some might say what a cruel cry wolf and sure it's a bit hectic but how else was this dear old man going to get the table full of family at Christmas once being told they had other plans.
Life can be so lonely to the elderly; don't forget about them especially at this time of year.
