Do you know what a “tomte” is? I just found out that he is a mythical Scandinavian creature who is somewhat akin to garden gnomes. Winter and Christmas are his things. This blog post from Jump i
nto a Book, the online source for kid-friendly multicultural links and titles, offers some great reading and audio suggestions on the subject as well as everything you ever wanted to know about tomtes. This is done with lots of humour, and there is even a recipe for Yul porridge, just in case you want to feed your local Tomtes!
Good Yul to you all!
