I’m from the UK and my partner is from the States. Every year she has the kids leave milk and cookies out for Santa, which I find odd because we left out sherry and a mince pie in my house. At the same time, we live in Scandinavia and I’m sure the Christmas gnome (julenissen) is unhappy about the lack of porridge.

    a household spirit from Nordic folklore which has always been described as a small human-like creature wearing a red cap and gray clothing, doing house and stable chores, and expecting to be rewarded at least once a year around winter solstice (yuletide), with the gift of its favorite food, porridge.
