◼ Mythological history.
A Swedish Nisse [ˈnɪ̂sːə] is a mythological creature from Nordic folklore, today typically associated with the winter solstice and the Christmas season. They are generally described as being short, having a long white beard, and wearing a conical or knit cap in gray, red or some other bright colour. They often have an appearance somewhat similar to that of a garden gnome.
According to tradition, the Nisse lives in the houses and barns of the farmstead, and secretly acts as their guardian. If treated well, they protect the family and animals from evil and misfortune, and may also aid the chores and farm work. However, they are known to be short tempered, especially when offended.
Every Christmas (and every Thursday) the farmers had to give the Nisse a plate of porridge (or rice pudding on Christmas) to make sure he was kept happy.
