There are two things that I currently have a love\/hate relationship with. Those would be Starbucks and Christmas Creep. I hate Starbucks and the fact that we saw a million of them all over the damn place in NYC and no alternatives. I hate their business practices. I hate their snooty terminology. <\/p>\n
I also hate Christmas Creep and the fact that it turns me into a scrooge when I see Christmas decorations pre-Thanksgiving. Christmas should be fun, but the realtors have sucked all of the joy out of it.<\/p>\n
And yet… I am sitting here craving not just a latte from Starbucks, but one of those holiday themed lattes from Starbucks with peppermint and whipped cream and sprinkles. Possibly served in a whimsical holiday mug. With a gingerbread man.<\/p>\n
