Top Six Reasons Why Celebrate Christmas With Starbucks

by - 8:15 PM

It's Christmastime again, our most anticipated celebration of the year is just near the corner! Only on this beloved season, we try to catch up with our friends and some distant relatives who are coming home for Christmas. Personally, I love talking with them over coffee or tea or some booze. And most exciting part is sharing some stories with laughter and little tears but most of it - sharing a perfect moment of Christmas. Do you know how I do it? I usually bond with them in any Starbucks branches because aside from a great brewed coffee, I usually love the good ambiance of Starbucks Coffee shop.

I think this year's design of Starbucks Planner comes in two amazing cover designs: coffee stains and  the blue siren planner which is inspired from the iconic Starbucks logo, siren in the sea. These Planners come in two sizes.A very good idea of Christmas gifts to your teacher friends or friends who love plotting schedules and plans for their lives.
