Front Line, Crossroads, HR, Peek, Photo

It's Christmas Eve. One day until Christmas. The line was long, pretty much all day. Shortcake spent the entire day on crowd control, just on different parts of it. She was on crossroads for the first time ever, managing the exit as Teddy Bear and Chestnut managed the line. She was back in HR singing carols and trying to cheer people up as it was late in the day. At 5:15, the peek window was opened once the line was cut off to see Santa (otherwise he would have been at Macy's all night and never made it out to deliver presents to the good boys and girls). Shortcake manned the peek window, and for the first time in 2 years, started to lose patience. Perhaps driving from Pennsylvania on Christmas Eve to see Santa was not the best idea, people. She started singing "Under the Sea" to herself, just to keep herself happy. She finished off the day photo elfing for Santa. For the most part it went okay, but there was one father who just didn't understand that his daughter didn't want to sit with Santa, so Santa had to tell him forcefully that she was kicking him (which she was). Oy, it was not the best end to the day. Shortcake is now at home, watching White Christmas, wearing the Macy's sweatshirt she was given today and drinking hot chocolate.

Spritz and Marzipan made some awesome sugary treats today.

A bright moment at the end of the day: While the elves were all changing, getting ready to go back to the North Pole, Shortcake started singing "Hakuna Matata" and all the elves joined in. She really does have the best job in the world.

There will be pictures posted later, along with answers to all the questions asked over the season.
