I love the Starbucks Red Cups. They are a sign that the holiday season i justttt about here. Every year when I get my first red cup of coffee, I text one of my friends "Happy Red Cup Day!" because its kind of like a holiday in itself and we like to recognize its arrival. It seems that I'm not the only one who feels this way about the Red Cup as I saw a ton of instagram pictures, tweets, and facebook posts of people holding their favorite starbucks beverage in a jolly Red Cup.
I like to ease into the holiday season. While some retailers {hello, Crate and Barrel, please slow your roll} start to push ornaments and christmas lights and trees before we've even made it past Halloween, I like to tackle one holiday at a time. First Halloween, then Thanksgiving, and theennn Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years..
I don't waste too much time though: my plans for the weekend after Thanksgiving include watching Home Alone & Love Actually with my sisters {its a tradition}, returning to Chicago and promptly buying a Christmas tree and adorning the home with lights, seasonal candles, and blasting Christmas music while doing all of the above. Oh, yeah - and I throw up a Menorah because ... I'm Jewish :)
So friends, my question for you ... Do you rush the holidays a little or do you like to take your time?
Either way, I suggest you head to Starbucks and treat yourself to a Red Cup drink :) and as their seasonal slogan goes "rekindle the joy".
