Working as a barista is especially rewarding during Christmas time. Here are some of the resons.

!. Customers really appreciate hot creamy coffee, which means more espresso shots and coffee art and less freezes and noisy blenders.

@. The coffee shop becomes a place where Christmas is celebrated, meaning it is where people go when they are taking a break from buying stuff. It’s where people stop and talk to each other. If this didn’t happen all those gifts would be meaningless.

#. The low pressure of incoming snowstorms makes pulling exceptional shots of espresso easy, plus snow makes espresso taste better in of itself.

$. Sufjan Stevens Christmas Album, who knew that Santa played the banjo….I’ll tell you who knew, Sufjan Stevens knew.

%. Generosity is abundant, I won’t lie I appreciate the big tips, but also people are buying each other coffees all the time and tend to be so giving it makes for a great atmosphere. In the recent Hollywood version of Dickens Christmas Carol, Father Christmas dies very quickly because of the evils of ignorance and want. Knowledge of the those in need paired a generous heart is what makes Christmas come alive, maybe we can make it last a little longer than a week this year!
