Photo Elf, Front Line, Santa Elf, Front Line

Shortcake was back at work today. It was great to walk in and see all of her elf friends. Some of them had been working on Sunday, when Macy's was evacuated due to an escalator fire. Worry not, no one was hurt, and people continued to see Santa after people were let back into the store. Shortcake was not working that day and missed all the fun.

Shortcake still cannot breathe through her nose without the use of helpful drugs. But other than that she feels fine.

Shortcake started the day Photo Elfing. It's been so long, she felt a little out of practice. The babies still won't smile for her, but they will at least look at her when she does a dance. After a few hours, Shortcake was given a break and sent out to the front line to be on headset. The line was never that bad. At it's longest it was 45 minutes, but hovered closer to the 30 minute mark for most of the day. For only having 3 days until Christmas, that's really good.

Lunch was fun, since she managed to have lunch with Pecan Pie, Teddy Bear, Frostbite, and Figgy.

She then Santa elfed for a few hours, which was fine, but she suffered a sugar crash around 3:30pm. She finally made it through, and finished up the day on the front line that was about 25 minutes line.

Only two more days with Santa before heading back to the North Pole. Elves are starting to say their good-byes, since we all take different trains back at different times.

Dear Shortcake Jingleberry,

My ELF is delighted to have you as a sister. She promises not to get jealous. Thank you for sharing your adventures at Macy's with us. Enjoy your trip back to the North Pole and tell Macy's and Santa that you are an exemplary elf and deserve accolades for your elfness, at least candy canes and a hat that doesn't droop.

Merry Christmas!!

Love, ELF's mom
