It snowed today! It was very pretty, even if Shortcake did almost slip on the ice under the snow because she was wearing sneakers instead of snow boots. But then it turned to rain by the end of the day. And the snow melted. Sadness.
Anyway, the snow and the rain kept the crowds away, so we had a relatively calm day. Santa had a German Catholic bishop visit him. The bishop brought him a German chocolate St. Nicholas treat. It made Santa's day.
Genie made an advent calendar for Santa and the strawbosses and wig girls. Every day someone different opens a present, and it's a trivia question and a chocolate treat. It was Shortcake's day, and she got a truffle.
The managers were shortstaffed this morning, ie Krampus was alone, so Shortcake helped out. She manned the scheduling desk with her ukulele.
She worked really hard.
Then she opened up Crossroads while Spatula helped her out by strawbossing for a half hour. Working Crossroads was dusting off rusty skills - Shortcake hasn't been there for three years. It wasn't quite as easy as hopping back on a bicycle, but she did it. Shortcake gave Spatula a Elfish Appreciation Recognition Slip for her help. Spatula got one earlier in the day for helping find Santa's pants. He had misplaced them, and while Shortcake was prepared to have a pantsless Santa, however cold he would have been, Spatula averted disaster. Pants were found, the line went back before stroller alley, and everything was good.
