Tuesday 12/18/12

It was a long, tiring day.  Shortcake woke up late, so she skipped breakfast, and then overcompensated with carbohydrates and forgot to eat lunch.  Santa had to visit the NYU hospital, while also staying at Macy's, and Shortcake is still learning how to work around Santa being in two places at once.  He can do it.  It's harder for the elves.

We had a bouncer front line consisting of Fa La La, Snowball, Teddy Bear and Jangles.

Spritz was a pirate for the day.  She greeted children with "Arrr.  Ahoy!  This way to see Santa," and then she would limp away.

That's Spritz and Sprocket, the hipster elves, with Santa.

Shortcake's friend Sarita came to visit Santa.

Santa had a great visit at the end of the day.  Three little girls came in, wearing ballerina tutus, and Santa told them they got to keep the cat.  The girls were so excited, they jumped up and down and their light up Ugg boots were blinking like mad.  They hugged their father, and it brought tears to Santa's eyes.
