Pass on the Cheer!

I always look forward to Starbucks' seasonal drink Peppermint Mocha. I love it because of its sweet and minty blend. I also look forward to the limited edition Starbucks planner that can be redeemed after collecting 17 stickers within given period. Starbucks came out with 5 designs this year instead of only 3 in previous years. Actually, it's just one design but in 5 different wood finishes (Poplar, Bamboo, Cherry, Spruce and Oak).

The sad part though is that I'm not much of a "Starbucks" coffee drinker. (I like the Peppermint Mocha, yes, but not to the extent that I'd drink 17 cups in a month or two) The most I can purchase in a month is 4. True enough, I only have 4 stickers in my card as of today. *Sigh*. 13 stickers to go.

When I started collecting my stickers around mid November, I already had the feeling that this year will be the same as the previous years. There's a possibility that I won't be able to get the required stickers (again) and will only end up giving my stickers to those who need a few more to complete their set. Oh well.

But lo and behold! I was so pleasantly surprised when my co-workers handed me a 2012 Starbucks planner this morning. They did promised me that they will collect stickers for me soon after they complete their set, but I wasn't expecting them to finish this early!

I'm very happy to receive this gift. My co-workers indeed passed on some cheer and made my day :)

Merry Christmas everyone!
