Tis' the Season

I can't take credit for writing this. Bets' wrote it and gave me the okay to post it:

Well the holiday season is upon us. I was in complete denial after going to Fred Meyer preceding Halloween and seeing the Christmas ornaments for sale. I saw the commercials creep up on us and accepted that as an early warning sign. But as I sat here at my desk pondering nothing out of sheer boredom, something red caught the corner of my eye. I intended to ignore it but an old familiar and irresistible scent was drawn to my nose. I turned my head to follow and this thing that I remember some time ago (12 months) was now in plain view.

Yes, it was a Starbuck's cup.

A red, Christmas Starbucks cup. That's it folks. It's all over. They have there little red cups everywhere now spreading frenzy across the world.

Buy stuff, spend lots of money, use your credit card, drink more coffee out of the red Christmas Starbucks cups and get paranoid, maybe even have a heart attack because everyone knows that with that Starbucks Cup comes a donut or two, and it’s Christmas, why not, have another.

Let's celebrate the season by going to the Starbucks down the street and getting ourselves some overpriced coffee in a little red cup and eat some fattening lemon pound cake with it. Yeah, because that’s what Jesus did right?

I mean it only makes sense. Mary and Joseph were hyped up on caffeine. Joseph got paranoid because they couldn't find a place to stay and Mary had Jesus in the stable because the caffeine from that Starbucks coffee sent her into early delivery. Right.

Enough of the Starbucks people. I am looking in a garbage can full of red cups from, you got it, Starbucks. 'Tis the season. Merry Starbucks everyone, and a Happy New Year.
