Wherein Shortcake was Sassed

Wednesday was a hectic day.  Shortcake was already tired since she hadn't made up the sleep debt from coming in at 7am on Tuesday for Happy Child.  Schedules got all moved around, and it was super slow.  Santa did not see many people.  Shortcake was scolded by her manager, which put her off a bit.  Holly, who helps Santa with his beard (not to be confused with Shortcake’s friend, Holly), made peanut butter cookies with chocolate kisses.  They were delicious, even though Shortcake was not supposed to eat them until after she ate her salad.  But Shortcake did eat her salad, eventually, because she is trying very hard to get the correct servings of fruits and vegetables daily.  It is actually very hard.  Surprisingly.

Santa is very thirsty.  Shortcake learned she needed to check on his water every half hour or so.

Shortcake worked on the International Strawboss Sign Language cheat sheet, so strawbosses and elves could all be on the same page when communicating silently.  Holly drew pictures after Shortcake worked out the signs.

Santa sassed Shortcake near the end of her shift, so she was a bit short-tempered with him.  She was more than happy to hand the man in red over to Cider.  This is Cider, rocking the Strawboss headset:

Perhaps you have heard of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree?  Mariah Carey sang this year; see if you recognize anyone in the video:

 

 That man in red?  Yeah, he sassed Shortcake mere hours before this aired.
