| 2016: Christmas - Barn Gnomes |
In the cold Swedish winter the tomtar or tomten are busy. They live solitary lives on farms staying out of sight of the farmer but taking care of the animals and buildings
and protecting the household from accidents and disasters but will play tricks on you if you annoy them
a bowl of porridge with butter on Christmas Eve to be left in the barn. If the bowl is empty in the morning then all will be well for another year.
The illustrations are by Eva Wilsson based on the the originals by Harald Wiberg (1908-1986) who illustrated Astrid Lindgren's books such as The Tomten and The Tomten and the Fox.
Sunday Stamps theme this week is - Secular Christmas - See It On A Postcard
