Don’t get me wrong, I think this year’s is ugly AF. But it’s not because of its lack of “Christian Meaning” (wtf does that even mean??) It’s because of the pathetic attempt at ombre that gets covered up by my mug sleeve.
Fear not, Mike and Beca at the Drive Thru window, this will not stop me from coming to see you!
As far back as I can remember, the Starbucks cup never once said “Merry Christmas” explicitly anywhere at all, nor do I remember it boasting crosses or baby Jesuses (Jesi? Jesus’?). I do fondly remember snowflakes and ice skates and occasionally some presents. HOW ARE PRESENTS EXCLUSIVELY CHRISTIAN? Newsflash: they aren’t. Everyone likes presents. Even atheists. Even Jehovah’s Witnesses. That’s why they’re always coming to your door. To give out some killer books (bibles.)
Stop trying to make everything a “political correctness issue” and drink some damn caffeine. I promise you’ll feel better.
