Friday, December 18, aka The Day The World Lost Its Mind Over Star Wars

A sad thing happened this week.  One of Santa's colleagues, what we call a Man in Red, died.  He had worked with Santa for five years, and when he didn't show up last week, we feared the worst.  They told all the elves on Thursday.  Cider was kind enough to call Shortcake to let her know.  Shortcake made sure to give all of the elves (and managers) a big hug on Friday.

Around that sadness, Santa still had some good things happen.  He got into the Star Wars spirit, tweeting spoilers for the movie:


R2-D2 and C3PO ride a tonton off a cliff #StarWarsSpoilers

Luke's hand absorbs radiation, dies, says it was and always will be Luke's friend. #StarWarsSpoilers

Han Solo gets Leia home. Gets her pants off. She's secretly a man. #StarWarsSpoilers

Shortcake saw Fa La La (for, like, the first time all season), and they ran across the register room for a hug.  It was positively cinematic.

Someone proposed in front of Santa today!  It's the first one of the season, that Shortcake has heard about.  It was a man proposing to a woman (these things cannot be assumed), and she said yes.  Santa said it was the largest pink diamond he's ever seen.

And Cider and Ruby got married!  Well, sort of.  It was an unofficial ceremony, and Santa married them, elf to elf.  It was really quite lovely.

Lisa came to visit!
