Tomte
A tomte is one of the most beloved figures in Swedish folklore — a tiny, bearded household spirit who watches over the farm, the animals, and the people who live there. Think of him as part ancestral guardian, part mischievous gnome, deeply woven into Sweden’s rural traditions. In Sweden Tomte is most often translated to Santa as Tomte were know to bring gifts during the winter solstice. In English we refer to them as gnomes.
