Krampusnacht

Shortcake had more Christmas spirit back on Tuesday.  She likes opening.  She's always been an opener, even going back to her days as en elf.  The world just feels right when she opens.

It was an easy day.  Shortcake and Tumbleweed had a dance party to Cee Lo Green's "That's What Christmas Means to Me" while Santa got ready.  Santa completely ignored them while Shortcake and Tumbleweed danced it out.

Santa did need help putting his boots on.  Apparently, Cider helps Santa do this daily.  But Santa said Shortcake did a better job.  Ha!

The FDNY came to visit.  They've been making surprise visits throughout the season.  Jubilee said it was because Black Friday was so crowded and unsafe.  Shortcake had to stand by specific doors because... well, she's not really sure why.  But she did.  And one firefighter asked her how many Santas there were.  Shortcake said one.  He asked if that was what she was supposed to say.  And she answered in the affirmative.  The firefighter laughed a little and walked away.

After that excitement, Shortcake went and did calf stretches.  And then she made snowflakes.  Santa said she was good at it, but Shortcake feels she uses the same shapes over and over again and was dissatisfied.  Tumbleweed also made snowflakes, and she went to Pinterest to find instructions on how to make a good one.  Shortcake thinks the hardest part of snowflakes is making them six-sided.


Shortcake's first three snowflake attempts.

And here are some drawings Santa received this year:
