Hasta sirven como parte de la decoración Navideña! Son tan bonitas y me encanta ofrecérselas a mis invitados. Siempre que las puedo conseguir, me encanta tener las botellas de Coca de vidrio. Con tantas fiestas, amigos y familiares que normalmente vienen a mi casa durante la temporada, tiendo a siempre tener Coca-Cola lista para cualquier ocasión. Para mí, se ha convertido en un ícono de la época. Cuando me pongo a pensar en la época navideña, siempre se me viene a la mente la imagen de Santa o osos polares con una Coca-Cola. También sé que no soy la única que se emociona y se pone sentimental con los comerciales de Coca-Cola. Por ejemplo, no me entra el espíritu navideño hasta que huela galletas recién hechas en mi casa y no es realmente oficial hasta que el radio empieza a tocar canciones de Navidad.
Me parece interesante pensar en cómo ciertas cosas se vuelven tan emblemáticas de una temporada o tradición. They even feel like part of the holiday home décor! They are so cute and I love offering them to my guests. You never know when you might have people over! Whenever I can get my hands on them, I love having the glass bottles. With so many holiday parties, friends and family that I usually have over during the season, I tend to overstock on Coca-Cola.
Somehow, when I think of the holidays, the image of Santa or polar bears with a Coca-Cola pops up in my head. Also, I know I am not alone when I say that Coca-Cola holiday commercials get me in an emotional holiday mood. I can’t get into the holiday spirit until I have home-baked cookies by the fireplace and it’s not really official until the radio starts playing Christmas songs. I often find it interesting to think about how certain things become so emblematic of a season, holiday or tradition.
