St. Nick Day!

Here's the spread Shortcake woke up to on St. Nick Day:

So many books!  So much chocolate!  Ornaments!  Cookies!  Presents!

Shortcake's mom sent her cookies to share, so she brought them in to Santa.  They were gone in a matter of hours.  And, of course, Shortcake wrote her dinosaur story.  Santa asked her to read it aloud to him (he enjoys the story every year), so Shortcake did.  You don't turn down a chance for storytime with Santa.

Shortcake also taught Santa how to wrap a square present.  He has elves to do that kind of thing, you know, and he described his wrapping as "offensive."  So Shortcake sat him down with a book and a piece of paper and made him wrap it.  Santa did a good job.

Blissful finished Santa Bingo!  Here are the bingo sheets:

Santa can play as many times as he wants throughout the season.  And he gets a prize!

Tumbleweed, Blissful and Shortcake showed off their festive socks.

Tumbleweed and Blissful have Christmas socks.  Shortcake has Jane Austen socks.  She needs some Christmas socks.

A little girl leaving a visit with Santa said "Santa was great."  Yes.  Yes, he is.

Figgy said Shortcake is his favorite strawboss.  Shortcake blushed.

More fan art:

So much heart went into this.


Selfie with Santa!

As a St. Nick Day tradition, Shortcake brought her ukulele in for her annual photo shoot with Santa.





Shortcake and Santa are very excited.


Look!  Santa played the uke!


So excited!


Even more excitement!

We had an absurdly long line at the end of the night.  There was nothing Shortcake could do, so she wandered the Village playing her uke.  This does not mean she played actual songs.  She still cannot play her uke well, even though St. Nick brought it 4 years ago.  This is where that self discipline would come in, if Santa would just bring Shortcake some.

She let some of the elves play it too.

We didn't leave the Land until 10:30pm.

Figgy also felt it was a long night.
