It went from pumpkin spice lattes to skinny peppermint mochas like a bad trainwreck and for sure before t-giving ended. Sorry little pumpkin spice latte time to say goodbye we have a "holiday drink menu" to put up. <br /><br />To step back a minute ...when exactly did coffee become holiday themed? Its been a slow creep to acceptance. It all started with the damn flavored coffee which I know happened in the early 90's I was in college and we did not have cell phones or email. Just the flavored coffee. First Hazelnut then Peppermint. ug.<br /><br />This Starbucks is of course in the lobby with the tree and the menorah table. When I was in there yesturday I thought I saw somethign for Kwanza too. I'll have to report back later.<br /><br />Ranting is fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-44593721685155035332011-11-30T09:50:25.397-08:002011-11-30T09:50:25.397-08:00For a few years awhile back I was so not about Chr...For a few years awhile back I was so not about Christmas, because it was all a bunch of adults sitting around and giving each other expensive, useless shit. But now there are children around. And the fun of holidays of all kinds has returned. So that's nice.<br /><br />But I still don't get Christmas presents for adults. Except maybe some of my jam or something.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-43943534056213154612011-11-30T06:25:38.151-08:002011-11-30T06:25:38.151-08:00My rant is actually about fireworks.

These days they are shot off multiple times through the summer, for almost any excuse. Now that Indiana is on DST, this is especially annoying to those of us who go to bed while it is still light. I truly reached my limit, though, when I read about a fireworks display planned for this xmas season.

You'...WooHoo -- let the holiday ranting begin. You've hit upon my very favorite pet peeve Ms. Finny. And, although I ususally wait until WELL after Thanksgiving to decorate, I'm thinking I might have a new holiday rule.
