Elves and Tomtens


Elves are a favorite of mine.

I like to pop them in here and there around the house. Swedish folklore have little elf like characters who are called Tomten. Tomten help to take care of the farm or home but tend to me quite mischievous trouble makers too. On Christmas Eve one should leave a bowl of rice pudding out for the Tomen as thanks and to assure a good year to come.
