Tomte with Goat
It is a mid-winter day on an arctic farm. The light is from a distant lantern. The shadows are soft. The barn is dark. It is quiet and calm.
In Scandinavia during the Romantic Era, it was a tomte who delivered Christmas gifts.
Earlier, tradition held that it was a Julbock (or Yule goat) that delivered Yuletide gifts. Some parts of Scandinavia still hold this tradition.
Here, they both sit for a much needed rest!
