Hey parents, maybe you want to read this, and look at all the videos, before you let your kids read it. Use your own judgment. Consider yourself warned.
Remember when Shortcake told you about the reporter who came in to visit Santa?
Well, the story broke. Here's the blog where it's originally found. According to everyone at Santaland, the best part of the video is Shortcake's face at the end. In this Buzzfeed article, Shortcake is highlighted as an "official looking woman." Who knew Shortcake was "official looking?" She doesn't even wear a suit!
Then CNN picked up the story.
Needless to say, Santaland was even busier than usual on Christmas Eve. Or rather, we were the same amount of busy, with an added twist that Kwanzaa Hut was in action all day.
So, how does Shortcake feel about all this? Well, she's happy people are coming to see Santa. And she's a little cranky that news organizations seem to be turning it into a segregation thing. And that the reporters are ruining the magic. It's hard enough to do what we do at Macy's, without ruining Christmas, and Santa Claus is the one person adults can come to without any religious affiliation and ask for help. Santaland turns into a secular confessional, and it is very special. Shortcake wishes the reporters would respect that.

I hadn't seen the Animal New York video before. Santa handles the situation incredibly well. And your expression at the end WAS the best part of the video.
Santa is THE BEST. Shortcake was very proud of him.
