Visiting one another is a great part of "nisse" life. A "nisse" knows any other "nisse" living in his district intimately. He never moves from the district where he is born and he knows where any other "nisse" in that district lives. He know their names, their age, when they have their birthdays, what they like and dislike and what an appropriated gift when visiting might be. And this goes more than anything for relatives. They are very social beings and would appreciate any guest at any time. They never invite one another, they just turn up and are welcome when they do. And they do celebrate Christmas of course, if not for the same reason as we do. And then the families gather and here you see my two friends on their way to such midwinter gathering.
Well this was the last from my little friends this year as I will do as them, gather my Christmas presents and take off to be with my family for the next few days. Maybe I’ll let you get a few more glimpses of their lives and doings next Christmas or maybe I’ll find something else to post in December then.
