Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus

Shortcake's friend just blogged about her entry about the three views on Santa. Please read his response as it states much more eloquently and correctly what Shortcake was trying to say in view 2.

In other news, Shortcake spent the day Santa elfing, Photo elfing and standing at the Main Exit. Santa thanked Shortcake on her break for all her help while she was Santa elf, which is sweet, but made her wonder if he was just thanking her as an elf in general, or her specifically. The difference matters only because every time Shortcake Santa elfs she feels like half her brain stops working and she's only doing half her job. This probably isn't true, but it's still a relief to do something else. Like Main Exit.

At the Main Exit, Shortcake handed out flyers for the puppet theatre, told people where the bathroom was (7th floor), prevented people from entering the exit, and talked to kids in line. She also proved that the wait is only 20 minutes from the exit through Santaland and back to the exit. It looks longer, and one family challenged her, so she timed that families trip. At 3:05pm they were standing next to Shortcake in line, and at 3:25pm the kids walked out of the registry area. Ha! Success!

One of the managers said she did a good job at the Main Exit; it was actually inspiring. Shortcake thought she was good at crowd control, but it's good to know she's meeting the managers expectations. Do not worry, gentle readers, Shortcake shall not get a big head from this compliment. There is always Santa elfing to challenge her abilities.
