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!

“For once, donʼt say “Nah!”.
Itʼs the Holidays!”
