Tuesday Dec. 19th

Tuesday was the Tuesday before Christmas.  So, of course, it was busy.  And school groups showed up.  There was a school group of 220.  Shortcake laughed out loud when she heard that number.

Santa and Periwinkle came up with the Mason scale of cuteness.  Mason was about 1 1/2 years old and visited Santa.  He loved it so much he didn't want to leave.  Santa and Periwinkle agreed he was the cutest child they had ever seen - a perfect 10 of cuteness.  So that's Mason.  Most kids are about a 4 or 5 on the Mason scale.  Sometimes Santa gets a 7 or 8.

They told me about another visit where the mom was fussing over the boy, and he said "Mom, you're being so extra right now."  Periwinkle about fell over laughing, but Shortcake didn't understand because she is not hip to the current slang.  Periwinkle and Santa had to explain it to her.  Urban Dictionary is here to explain it to you.

Santa had another visit where the big kid had the whole thing on Facebook Live.  Yay social media?

So even though Santa was super busy, Shortcake was not.  At about 2pm, she just started walking around the Santa room going "I am so boooooored."  This may also have coincided with when the caffeine wore off.
