Eddie didn’t realize he had elf powers until one day he was in the little house when a woman came by with her friend and was telling the story of the lights. Eddie heard her version and was suddenly compelled to tell the real story.

From that moment on something magical happened and people that came to see the lights, began visiting the Elf house to listen to Eddie.
