Christmas in Norway finds children remembering a little creature called "Nisse". He is a special, personal elf who watches over the household all year, it's people and animals, it's buildings and crops. He is a shy creature who often lives in the barn, seldom seen by people, but his presence is felt. On Christmas Eve it is important to remember the Nisse with a bowl of porridge. This insures that the Nisse will be happy and continue to watch over the family farm. If you forget, he is full of mischief and will play tricks on you
