This is the day when most Filipinos start adorning Christmas tree (while others do it earlier, most of us do it right after Halloween),moreover, today also marks the start of yet another tradition for Starbucks aficionados- Starbucks planner sticker collecting.
With this annual custom, you can really feel the Christmas air along with the spirit of giving. We can already feel the hustle and bustle on the street as people dash to the malls to fill up their list as well as indulge in the company of friends and loved ones.
While everyone is busy preparing for the holidays, we should also pause and think of ways to extend kindness and generosity. As Christmas day nears, the feeling of goodness only grows stronger too. ‘Giving good’ becomes a habit, as more people exchange smiles and conversations, and join in the season’s heart-warming traditions.

Same as the previous years, planner sets are available in regular and mini sizes.
