It was the last day of the autism event, and Shortcake was at the front line again. She was there for four hours, but for the last two and a half, she had a helper, Red Elf, who was new, straight from the North Pole, and learning the ropes. Lots of adorable kids coming to see Santa, and a lot of big kids too.
After a 20 minute break, she headed off to Photo for Santa. She had a dance party, showing off her special Shortcake dance to Santa, and her fellow elves showed off their dances too. That's what elves do in the houses when you aren't around. Dance. There was one large group of 16, and a German dad with the sweetest little girl. There was a boy who cried and screamed, and then came back because his little baby brother needed a picture with Santa too. There were some criers today. After 2 hours of that, she was given a lunch break wherein Disney World was discussed, as well as surviving on a deserted tropical island without chapstick. If you were wondering, Shortcake would probably hunt animals to make her own chapstick with animal fat and coconut oil before figuring out how to purify the salt water or build a shelter. Lip balm. It's a necessity.
After lunch Shortcake spent some more time on the front line, and then Santa let her go home an hour early! As a reward for coming in early! YAY!
See you tomorrow after sleeping in!

Dear Shortcake,
I want to see the special 'Shortcake' dance. By the way, do elves have middle names? I've been thinking that yours should be Jingleberry. Shortcake Jingleberry Elf. That sounds very happy and Christmasy.
My ELF isn't feeling very much joy about Christmas. I think she needs her mother to read stories to her and bake cookies for her and not hassle her about how much time she has to spend at another house. I am going to try to be a good mother to my ELF so she can relax.
I am glad Santa let you go home early. You work very hard to keep all the children happy and make it easy for everyone. I am learning a lot from you about what hard work Santa's elves have to do. Tell Macy's 'thank you' for being extra nice to children in the autism spectrum and their families.
Keep telling those little princesses to follow their own dreams and not look for princes. Although, I have to say that my ELF really did find a prince.
What do elves do when Christmas is over?
Can't wait to meet you, ELF's mom
