Starbucks holiday cups causing stir
A simple change in the design of Starbucks’ holiday-themed cups has left critics and some Christians with a not-so-merry feeling. They claim it’s yet another war on Christmas. The company’s decision to use minimalist red cups without the reindeer, Christmas ornaments and other holiday symbols that have been featured past years has sparked a viral campaign started by a former pastor in Arizona and criticism from some conservative groups. Arizona “social media personality” Joshua Feuerstein posted a video on Facebook on Nov. 5 asking people to give their name as “Merry Christmas,” forcing baristas to write it on the cups. The video has been viewed more than 12 million times and shared more than 400,000 times/ Today. More here.
