Fruit & Cheese Day!

Dear readers,

You probably remember Fruit and Cheese Day.  Shortcake started it back in 2012 to try to have one day where she and Santa ate something other than cookies and sugar.  Like natural sugar (in fruit) and fat (in cheese).  It's been successful over the past two years (2012 and 2013), so there are two Fruit & Cheese Days this year.  The first one was Friday.  (Today, according to the date that this is being posted because Shortcake is post-dating it.  Haha!  That sentence may not have made sense.   Tenses may change throughout this post.  Shortcake doesn't care.  Haha!)

Shortcake brought clementines.

Santa brought a fruit platter cheese cubes (Shortcake ate all the cheddar) and crackers and gluten-free crackers (for Ruby and Gingersnap) and blueberry goat cheese (delicious) and apple cinnamon goat cheese (a little weird).

There's a school group that visit Santa every year.  About 60-70 people come.  They all want individual photos.  This is usually not allowed, so they call ahead to arrange it.  Miss Denise is in charge of this group, and Shortcake loves Miss Denise.  Mostly because Miss Denise knows her group is a pain in the butt, and does everything she can to make it easier for Santaland.  So Shortcake helped facilitate the visit, and said hi to Miss Denise and hung out with a fifth grader who likes Percy Jackson, so he and Shortcake got along famously.  (Shortcake loves Percy Jackson.  She thinks it's better than Harry Potter.  Yes.  She said it.  And she's not taking it back.)  Anyway, Marzipan did a great job with the school group (she was Santa's photo elf.)

After work, Shortcake walked up 5th Ave a little and saw some decorations.
