Riddle 013: Spreading That Christmas Cheer [Action]

[questionauthority]

[Christmas Time is coming! Today, you'll probably find Edward in one of three locations.

A. At the Christmas Village, dressed in his little "Helper Elf" costume and freezing furiously. He does not look at all happy to be there.

B. Wandering through the town, dressed in a warm, green pea-coat, a jade scarf wrapped around his neck, just admiring the winter scenery.

C. Back at home, meticulously setting something up on the dining room table. Once he's finished, he'll call upstairs.]

Slugger? Susan? I'd like it if you could come to the dining room, please. ...Susan, you're free to call upon your Grandfather, too, if you like.

[Eddie can't help but look stunned at that. He'd never expected Slugger to be full of Christmas Spirit. Well, he didn't expect himself to either.]

[Slugger doesn't notice right away until he turns his attention to the strangely decorated assembly otherwise known as "Christmas Village". That's when he spots the familiar face. And the ridiculous elf costume.

Suddenly he's grinning ear to ear like a shot fox. Oh, how the Christmas cheer has spread!]

[And now Edward's scowling in response, no doubt understanding just what's so funny to Slugger.]

Not a word.

[And not a single word is spoken. Not a word needs to be spoken.

Still grinning, Slugger backs away with a little wave goodbye and turns to leave. It does strike him as odd though that police officers would be required to aid an event like this. Somehow he suspects Eddie doesn't have an explanation for it.]
