The Redcoats Are Coming...The Redcoats are Coming
No, not the Brits.....but the rotund elderly gentlemen with long white beards.
First, I noticed in the card shop, a whole section of birthday cards replaced by Christmas cards.
Then, I noticed the Christmas decorations beginning to appear around here.
I couldn't help but notice on my UA flight back to Hong Kong, that they were piping in Christmas carols as I boarded.
And my ears did not fail me the other day, when I noticed Anuja adding in some Christmas tunes to her repertoire (she sings a lot at work). I do believe I heard her own rendition of 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'. And yes, she sings all the parts.
But today at Starbucks, when my grande-skim-latte-with-an-extra-shot-please came in a red paper cup with an insulating sleeve decorated in white with red snowflakes, I knew that Christmas will soon be upon us. I skipped the gingerbread or eggnog flavouring options - all I can say is yuck-yuck-yuckity-yuck to that.
But I did have a cranberry scone and THAT is one of the best things about Christmas to me.
Ho Ho Ho.

Careful the old man in the red coat doesn't grab you ...hehehe
Better yet, I'll make him nervous by saying I want to sit on his lap and tell him what I want for Christmas ;)
LOL!!! Fi. :)
And why would that make him nervous?
Because he's not used to such big girls sitting on his lap *L*
I think its coming way to fast, Im so not ready. But am I ever?
Linz is a big fan of those cranberry scones.
Miranda - being TOO ready makes it dull...part of the fun is mad rushing around *L*
I'm with Linz...I only wish they had them year-round....the pumpkin one comes in a close second, followed by the apple cinnamon :)
No no no noooooooooooooooooooo! Not yet, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease! Well, except for the cranberry thingys maybe, they sound nice!
You know it's near Christmas when ASDA (Wal-Mart) use festive carrier bags. I'm a re-cycle sort of person and have been using last years for several weeks. Even write cards in pencil so people can re-use them. lol...
FB if you get to a Starbucks, see if they have that item...they are just SO yummy!!!
Ummmm Ian....do you have Scottish blood? *L* Actually having said that, it's pure myth...some of the most generous people I know are Scots - me included ;)
The Starbucks flavors sound totally..yuck! But oh the cranberry scone sounds yummy, I adore cranberrys......
The man in the red coat is just going to have to wait a bit...I sooo not ready for him....I still have to deal with a very large turkey! Then I will think about Christmas.
Plus methinks someone very special has a birthday coming up VERY soon! *VBS*
I know...I'm a bit of a 'take that syrup away from my coffee' kinda gal too! Mocha is about as far as I'll stretch to adding something to my brew.
I LOVE cranberries too....fresh, sauced, dried...'sconed'...any old way *VBS*
OMG sssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh SSSSSSSSHHHHHHH *L*
