Friday the 13th

It was a busy, busy day.  Santaland was shortstaffed, and we had a 2 1/2 hour wait at 11am.  We were on the sales floor in Petites.  It was a little hectic.  And it was still hot in the Village, so Santa was, again, a sweaty, sweaty man.

Ever wonder what a Strawboss does during the day?  She walks in circles.  Sometimes she sits down.  But mostly, she walks in circles.  Sometimes, like yesterday, she turns in a circle until she's dizzy, then walks in a circle in the other direction.  One day, Shortcake should wear a pedometer, so she can see exactly how much she actually walks.

Interesting story about these three new elves: Trinket, Sprout and Toffee.  They're all male, new, about the same, and kinda look the same.  So Shortcake keeps trying to combine their names into one: Trout.  And today, Toffee became Trollop. Inexplicably, that's what came out of Shortcake's mouth.  That is not an appropriate elf name, if a hilarious one.

Shortcake's gonna take the weekend off before that giant snowstorm hits New York City.  Stay tuned!
