OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THIS.
ydalir: The Nisse or Tomte if you are Swedish is a creature from Scandinavian folklore. He was often described as a short troll or elf, “no bigger than a horse’s head”, wearing grey clothes, knickerbockers and a red hat similar to what Norwegian farmers would wear. And upon turning this hat being turned inside out, he could become invisible! The Nisse lived in the barn. Of course, he was so shy that he was hardly ever seen, but he was a good little helper on the farm as long as the farmers treated him well. Especially at Christmas he would expect to get a large bowl of porridge and homebrewed beer, in return for looking after the livestock. Often the farmers would also leave the leftovers from Christmas dinner on the table so the Nisse could help himself. But if farmers failed to keep him fed and happy, the Nisse would do mischief or harm to both animals and people. i remember my swedish farmor telling me this (:
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
