Who says Starbucks is anti-Christmas. No, they don't see it like that. It's more like, they're pro-creativity. They didn't just get rid of all the jazzy Christmas crap on your coffee cup to be mean, they removed to give you a blank slate to express your boredom at work.

 

Look here for example. I drew a super awesome monster seagull terrorizing a city and smashing it to bits. Most likely the cause: he's hungry. Or just a regular psycho bird.

 

Planes and helicopters are now shooting at the seagull, but I don't think it's doing anything.

 

Then on the other side of the city, there's a giant tidal wave coming in - with a sailboat on top for some reason - to destroy the rest of the city. Which kind of defeats the purpose of this flying army trying to subdue crazy legs over here.

 

There's also a surfer in the wave trying to ride it through. Because, well, this is California's surf culture. There's always a gnarly brah willing to try.

 

And then here comes Godzilla being roped in by UFOs. Or maybe just funny hats. I haven't decided yet.

 

He's a fire breathing monster. I think. But, it also looks like he's about to barf all over the army trying to suppress the giant seagull. So maybe he just has the flu and can't fly on his own. Does Godzilla fly? I can't remember. He's really angry though, I know that much. What's your problem Godzilla? Spaz the ef down. Lol.

 

And then on the top right, the sun is just chillin' watching the whole thing play out. He wears sun glasses because, well, again, this is California. No one goes outside without sunglasses. He's also sporting a bow tie, because bow ties are cool. And so is coffee. Lots of coffee. Lol.

 

So you see, Starbucks isn't anti-anything. So screw the snow flakes and the Christmas ornaments on your coffee cup and go draw something awesome on it. Like a wicked snowman of your own. Or, better yet, a mongoose. No wait. A fighting mongoose. Riding a snowboard...and flippin' off the bird...and...more coffee. Lol.
