Nothing says "Happy Holidays" to me quite like the return of the red cups at Starbucks! I wait anxiously for the day that they will arrive and bring with them my dearest loves... Egg Nog Lattes and Peppermint Mochas! Most of you know that I drink Peppermint Mochas all year long, they always have the peppermint syrup, but the red cups make it that much better! I don't mind if I have to put in a few more minutes on the treadmill or not eat an extra piece of pumpkin pie, nope, those are the sacrifices I am willing to make for my precious red cup of holiday cheer.
This year the cups are emblazoned with the words...
We invite you to listen to your desires
and to renew your hope.
To see the world not as it is,
but as it could be.
Go ahead, wish.
It's what makes the holidays the holidays.
I know we all have holiday wishes, what are some of yours? Leave me a comment between now and Wednesday evening and I will randomly choose one of you to receive a Starbucks Gift Card!
So many Christmas wishes, how on earth do i pick? I wish for mu family to be able to come to Colorado for Christmas this year, This will be the 4th year that we have not been together. I wish for the safe return of a friend who is currently serving in Afghanistan. I wish I wish for a healing for my mom who is currently recovering from major surgery. SO many things going on in the world right now to wish for. I wish everyone a Merry Chroistmas
ReplyDeletemy holiday wish is for continued newlywed bliss, a Christmas dinner that is Martha Stewart perfect and a job in the new year!
ReplyDeletemy wish is that we are all together. sometimes hard with grown children!
ReplyDeleteI love the Peppermint Mochas too! Yum! We also have a place in MN with Caribou Coffee (scaled down, MN version of Starbucks--but just as good)--they have a Mint Condition and I go for that every time too! My wish is that all the troops overseas, get home for the holidays and home safely for good, sooner, than later!
ReplyDeleteMy holiday wish is peace, not just in the world in all of our homes. We get SO busy during this season I'd love to just be calm and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteAs a side note, I am not ready for the red cups yet! I think they should come out closer to Thanksgiving :p
To be able to get time off from my hubby's job so we can go visit my family back east. I miss them.
ReplyDeleteMy wish is for peace, joy, and love in the coming year for everyone. I also am hoping to spend more time with my Bestie. ;oD
ReplyDeleteyou're right about the peppermint mochas in a red cup :) i've never tried the egg nog...so that's on my list for this week!
ReplyDeletemy biggest wish this Christmas is for the family trip we're trying to plan to work out. (my whole family up in colorado for a week before christmas) otherwise, we won't get to see any extended family over the holidays.
As cheesy as it sounds... peace in my life, my family, my home, our country...

I really like the Peppermint mochas that Starbucks has this time of year. They've both warm and refreshing. ...and boy, do they smell great!
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas wish is for good health for our family.
I feel exactly the same way about the red cups! They make it seem even more like the holidays. Silly, but so true!
