Today’s cup is thwarted by Colorado’s amazing sunrise. It’s beauty reminds me of the real reason this season exists.

So, todays Christmas mug is a Coca-cola Santa mug. With a picture from Haddon Sundblom’s “When Friends Drop In” painting of Santa done for Coca-cola in 1961.

I look forward every year to seeing these Santa’s and seeing the Coca-cola polar bears of late. Marketing for the win… kindof, I don’t drink soda much.

So my coffee and tea lovers, enjoy your first cups and remember the real meaning this season is to celebrate the birth of Christ.

Merry First Cups
