Mini Mr and Mrs Gnome

A nisse or tomte is a mythological creature from Nordic folklore today typically associated with the winter solstice and the Christmas season. According to tradition, the nisse lives in the houses and barns of the farmstead, and secretly act as their guardian. If treated well, they protect the family and animals from evil and misfortune, and they may also aid the chores and farm work. However, they are known to be short tempered, especially when offended. Once insulted, they will usually play tricks and steal items.
