Black Friday

Congratulations to all who survived the day after Thanksgiving! Shortcake had two lovely Thanksgivings, and then went home to rest up for the first day of Santaland.

The big news of the day is.... (drum roll please): We did not have a line longer than 30 minutes to see Santa! ALL DAY! TADA!

This is amazing. Shortcake expected all day lines of 2 hours or longer. Shortcake worked the front line for 3 1/2 hours. People were nice and friendly, and saw Santa quickly. There were carolers and a train conductor. It was a great day.

Then she Photo elfed, Santa elfed, Santa elfed some more, and refilled some button baskets. It was a pretty easy day. Turns out the rhythm to Santa & Photo elfing takes some time to get back, but it'll come. Of course, crowd control just came back naturally. Go figure.

Off to bed to rest up for another exciting day!

P.S. A family changed a boy's diaper while with Santa today. Shortcake couldn't stop it from happening because her back was turned and when she noticed, the boy was already naked and screaming on the mom's lap. And it was a non-English speaking family.

For those planning to visit Santa, changing diapers within Santaland is frowned upon. Please change diapers in designated restrooms. Thank you.
