It's snowing!

It's snowing in New York City right now.  Shortcake can see it out the window.  It's almost magical.  Any time it snows, she thinks of "New York City" by They Might Be Giants.

It was another easy day.  Santa had an event at JFK, so Cider went with him.  But it was weird for a bit in the break room while Cider and Shortcake were both there.  As Santa put it, it's like seeing Clark Kent and Superman having a conversation together.  It weirded everyone out.  (In this scenario Shortcake is Clark Kent and Cider is Superman.)  Then when they came back, Genie had also arrived, so all three strawbosses were in the room at once.  This never happens.  It was very exciting, and they were able to have a strawboss meeting, all together.

Also, Genie brought rice krispie treats:

They were delicious.

Remember Teddy Bear?  (Featured here)  Well, he's still with Santa.  Shortcake has been working with Teddy Bear for six years (out of seven).  In those six years, she has never seen Teddy Bear Photo elf.  Never.  That's not something he does.  And then.  Yesterday, Teddy Bear was a Photo elf.  Shortcake knows.  She was shocked too.  And Teddy Bear said he would do it again.  What.  The.  What.  

You may remember Willie - he's a regular visitor.  He came earlier in the season to show Santa all of his dolls. 

Shortcake appreciates who Willie tells Santa the item number of the toy he wants; thoroughness is rewarded.

This note was also on Shortcake's desk this morning:
