Santa had an event, and there were school groups, and Shortcake can't quite describe everything that went wrong, but she definitely never stopped moving. (Shortcake should really wear a pedometer one of these days to figure out how far she walks in a normal shift.) We were short on elves, so we had one elf doing two people's jobs all over the village.
Santa tripped on his way to an event. He stepped on a broom, and it rolled underneath his foot. He lost his balance and started to fall into some coatracks, but luckily, Spritz was there and she caught him on his harness. Santa's fine now, and Shortcake gave Spritz a "safety" button.
Shortcake was going in to visit Santa, so she went through the backdoor, said "Hi" and Pip screamed and jumped back. It was hilarious. Okay, the story loses a little in the telling, but Santa about fell off his chair from laughing.
Perhaps you have heard about Megyn Kelly claiming Santa is white. The gist is that Ms. Kelly claimed, on air, on Fox News, that Santa is white. This sent the internet into a tizzy. And so a reporter from the Daily News tried to get an answer from Macy's. Macy's PR just kept saying "We have one Santa." And the boss' boss gave Shortcake a heads up that a reporter might be coming in to see Santa and ask him weird questions. And then it actually happened. There was an adult couple, man and woman, who asked to see Santa, so Shortcake brought them to him. The woman sat on Santa's lap, and the man knelt in the middle of the house (in front of Santa's camera) filming. The woman asked questions like "Is there a white Santa or a black Santa?" Santa replied "There's just me. I am Santa." The woman asked "I had to say I wanted to see special Santa to see you." Santa replied "That's because you're special." The woman asked "How long have you been here?" Santa said "Since 1862." By this point, Shortcake was suspicious and called for a manager, who interrupted the visit. Thank goodness the boss gave Shortcake the heads up, and thank goodness Shortcake was hovering during that visit. She doesn't usually hover. Santa handled it like a champ.
At the end of the day, Trinket gave Shortcake an Elfin Awesomeness Recognition Systems (E.A.R.S).
Shortcake received it for "being a veritable tour de force all the time! Stupendousasticifferous!"
