Meet Mr. Twinkle, whose dream is to open a cobble shop. The problem is that he doesn't know how to make shoes! Enter Nate and Natalie, elves who make midnight visits to Mr. Twinkle's cobble shop creating the most wonderful shoes ever seen. When Mr. and Mrs. Twinkle discover the shoes, they make a sale, and business begins to boom. But business goes well only as long as Nate and Natalie make their secret midnight visits. 

In the end, the elves find out that the best gift isn't making shoes for Mr. and Mrs. Twinkle, but something else entirely.
