Monday, Longer Than Planned

Monday rolled around, and it was cold. No, really, cold. Outside, the North Pole weather had followed Santa to NYC. Inside, Macy's turned on the heat. Heat is not good for Santa. The man wears a lot of layers and sits under hot lights all day, and, a hot Santa is a miserable Santa which leads to a sad Shortcake.

It was a busy Monday. The line never completely disappeared, but didn't go past stroller alley. Haha! There was a rumor that some schools had parent/teacher conferences, which would explain why so many kids came to see Santa. There were a few more times when the Village had to be shut down due to the super-long photo line at the register. The register elves are short-staffed. Clearly.

After her shift, Shortcake accompanied Santa to a special event. He went to a party for New York Women in Film & Television. Santa took photos with the women. Shortcake held the cameras. She was asked by one woman "Are you an elf or a child?" Look. Shortcake is short, but she's not that short. She's an elf. Obviously. Another woman asked Shortcake to get her a glass of red wine. Shortcake pointed her to the bartender, and went back to assisting Santa.
