At the recent ribbon cutting for the Ojiketa Elf House we lit a small fire. Lighting the hearth tells the elves the home is open to them and for them. A similar tradition takes place on New Year’s Eve - a lit fire tells the elves they can come or go as they please. Elves don’t belong to anyone - the best we can do it make them feel welcome.
