Nisser on the way!

As is gets colder outside, the only things we want to do right now is to stay inside and make it nice and cozy, while we drink a hot cup of chocolate or tea. Looking for inspiration to make this dream come true? Here is an idea:

The little fellow with his red hat has a long tradition in the Nordic countries. He is called a ‘NISSE’ and he used to live under the ceiling at the farmers house. Each year at Christmas time it was the habit of giving him a nice meal in form of a sweet Rice-Porridge with melting butter. If the farmer’s family forgot to do so, they could expect a lots of trouble the coming year and a pure harvest. Since then he got a nice looking wife and most ‘Nisse’-Families got children too. A ‘Nisse’ can easily get more than 253 years old. So it is a nice story to tell and old tradition too.
