A"Tomte" or "Nisse," is a mythical creature from Scandinavian folklore, particularly in Sweden and Norway. This diminutive, gnome-like being is often depicted as a tiny, bearded old man wearing traditional farmer's clothing, including a pointed hat.
They are believed to be the guardian of farms and homesteads, responsible for protecting the well-being of the household and its animals. While generally benevolent, Tomten can be mischievous or grumpy if not treated with respect. In many stories, people leave offerings of food, particularly a bowl of porridge with butter, to ensure the Tomte’s favour and protection. If a Tomte is angered, he might well cause mischief in the home, like tying your horses’ tails together or letting the cows run loose.
I have taken the liberty of painting these 4 Tomten in imaginative festive robes, in a break from tradition - and if you choose one, I hope that he will guarantee you a joyous Yuletide and a happy and safe Winter Season.
