I had the Peppermint Mocha last night ... ohh it was fantastic.

I also saw the Starbucks card being advertised - a card where you pre-pay and can use your funds to pay for coffee (according to the serving guy) all around the world. I haven't researched how they work exchange rates and everything, but it sounds like fun. I considered getting one here in England and then buying a coffee in Sydney in December (just for the sheer geekiness of working out how they work the exchange rates), but coffee is so cheap in Sydney that you wouldn't think of buying it at Starbucks, where it is generally twice the price of anywhere else.

Craig, my son, works at Starbucks and is a big coffee guru. He recommends you enjoy your Christmas blend while eating something with chocolate or cinnamon, or both.
