The Joyful Emotion moves like she's lit from somewhere inside, all sunshine energy and a grin that seems impossible to turn off. She's spent a long time believing her job is to keep every moment happy, and she's finally learned that the good days mean more when the harder feelings get their turn too. She makes a point of asking the birthday child what would make today feel exactly right, then builds the whole visit around the answer.
Families all over the South Bay book Joyful Emotion for birthdays, and the performer team based around San Jose keeps the visit local: on time, in costume, ready at the door.
