According to Scandinavian legend, the Nisse is the protector of the farm through many generations. He is very small, has a long beard and often wears a red cap. His only demand is a bowl of rice porridge on Christmas eve. Ah, but if the farmer happens to forget, there will be trouble. Instead of protecting the farm and family, the Nisse will play tricks on them. Nisse or Nissen is the Norwegian name. In Sweden he is known as Tomten, in Denmark as Nissemanden, and in Finland as Tontuu. |
