"Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow"

Though we may look outside and only see pavement, leaves and gravel it will not be long until a fresh dusting of snow will be upon us. Some may be sad to not have the snow yet and think that the lack of poweder might slow the coming of the Holiday season, or that the snow is what welcomes in the winter. Maybe you think it is the Thanksgiving Turkey being put away in the fridge for leftovers the next day that signals the start of the Holiday Season. But non of those are true signs of the holiday season for me. The offical start of my Holiday sesason alwasy begins when I take my first sip of my favorite coffee drink in a Red Cup.


That's right, Starbucks has unleashed their Red Holdiay cups this week. What a delight it was to my midday lunch break to walk into Starbucks and be handed not only a delicious, well needed coffee drink but to be handed it in a red cup. This made the rest of my day delightful.
Don't roll your eyes to quickly at my excitedment. If you haven't ever experienced the joy of the red cup you must go and terat youself to a Holday must of a Pepermint Mocha with whipcream and red sprinkles in a red Starbucks cup. You'll be greatly suprised at the huge grin that will come accross your face as you look at that deligthfully festive colored cup.

So what are you waiting for, the weather doesn't matter, the date doesn't matter, the Holidays are here...the Red Cups are back!

Great job, Laura. I am going to get one of those peppermint mochas with whipped cream and red sprinkles ASAP. Let's indulge in those a lot when we are up to share the holidays. A hearty AMEN to holidays, Red Cups, family and great blog additions.

Oh man! There's actually a Starbucks very near where I live and I think I'll pop over and get myself a Gingerbread Latte!
