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".
I feel like they rush me and I have no say! SLOW DOWN LIFE!!!
ReplyDeleteI must say, I LOVE decorating for Christmas...But, I do feel a little guilty putting up a tree or decorating before Thanksgiving. I will, however, enjoy my coffee in the little red cup and listen to Christmas music!! :)
ReplyDeleteI try my hardest to wait it out. But I was scoping out some really great stuff at Target this weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteMy dear co-worker did remind me that Pilgrims have feelings too, but there is something special about the entirety of the Holiday season {Thanksgiving through NY)...red cups, slowly stores decorating with trees and lights, the excitement of Thanksgiving with friends and family, and then the Holiday season is in full swing! We usually set up the tree at my parent's house the Saturday after Thanksgiving and then I'm on a 24/7 Holiday movie/music kick! :)
ReplyDeleteI am so so sooo ready for the holidays! We just put Christmas lights up on our porch and I may or may not listen to Christmas music here and there. I have also indulged in quite a few red cups. Eeeee!
ReplyDeleteI always get so excited for the changing of the seasons at Starbucks! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying not to rush the holidays but they do tend to sneak up on you fast!

I rush present buying and decor prep (DIYing!) but I don't put anything up, listen to Christmas music, or wrap any presents until after Thanksgiving! I have to enjoy my turkey first!
