Who knew that so many people would take offense to a plain red Starbucks coffee cup. It's almost as if the cup itself was flipping off society, saying "I hate all of you coffee-drinking, holiday-loving, carol-singing Christians."

Before I continue, let's take a journey through the Starbucks cups of holidays past.

SHIELD YOUR EYES.

THE 2015 CUP MAY OFFEND YOU.

2015

As a college student, I survive on coffee. Now, I do not appreciate being labeled as a "basic white girl," but I do love a good cup of coffee. So when I saw #merrychristmasstarbucks trending on Twitter, I had to investigate what all the fuss was about.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into. An entire world of crazy had unleashed at the tips of my fingers. Honestly, I was a little disappointed when I saw what everyone was fighting over.

It's a plain red cup. Apparently, these cups are enough to infuriate millions of people into thinking Starbucks is anti-Christmas. The 2015 red cup design is a dip dye red design. No snowflakes. No Christmas designs. Just red.

Due to Starbucks's choice of cup design, social media users have started a "War on Christmas." Due to the company's lack of decor, they have been labeled as "Anti-Christmas." People have decided to never step inside a Starbucks because of the plain cups. Am I the only person who thinks that is a tad bit over dramatic?

Who knew that an item had to be decked out in snowmen, ribbons, and bells in order to have Christmas spirit?

Even though I am a practicing Christian, I don't expect the entire world to cater to my beliefs. Christmas isn't celebrated by everyone. Starbucks doesn't have Hanukkah themed cups, so why is having a Christmas cup a necessity?

Past holiday cup designs don't even have Christmas oriented themes. They have been more winter oriented. Sled riding and snowmen building aren't really Christmas activities. Both activities can happen without Christmas.

So what's the big deal? It's just a red cup not a "War on Christians."

People have forgotten what the real meaning of Christmas is. It isn't about festive drink ware.

If you need a red cup to define this holiday, you need to reevaluate your priorities. Don't let something this simple offend you to the point of ruining the entire holiday.

Take the time to appreciate what really matters.

If you can't move past the red cup, then maybe you should go to Dunkin Donuts instead.
