You may remember this tradition from years past. In an effort to counteract the amount of cookies and chocolate that Shortcake eats, she designates one day as Fruit and Cheese day and brings in... Fruit and Cheese.
This year was a rousing success. Santa had been stocking up for weeks. Shortcake brought in the smoked gouda, and a smaller tray of French cheese and dried fruit. Santa brought in pineapple and melon and crackers and a cheese tray, and Peppercorn brought in pineapple and berries. Everything was delicious (Especially the smoked gouda. And the cranberry goat cheese! Every day should include goat cheese. Nothing is quite so decadent as chevre.).
Unfortunately, it was very hot in Macy's. With global warming being what it is, and 60 degrees days in December, and Macy's being a very old building with steam heat... It can be hard for the building to adjust, and thus, Santa was very, very warm. Peppercorn had the brilliant idea of bringing him ice packs, so he could put them on his neck to cool down between visits.
Santa had an interesting visit with a baby. The baby wouldn't smile or look at the camera, so his parents gave him a snack. The snack fell on the ground, and the baby looked down to stare at the snack. So, Santa says "give me a snack" and Santa holds it out, then throws it towards the camera onto the ground. Unfortunately, the baby did not follow the snack, or look at the camera. Instead, the baby looked at Santa like "What?! Why would you do that?!" Santa, Sprinkles, and the parents all started laughing uproariously.
Peppercorn also brought her ukulele in! Shortcake still has her ukulele (although she hasn't learned to play it well in two years), but she hasn't brought it in yet this year. So she was very excited when Peppercorn brought hers in.
