Thanks for clarifying "nissa." I'm amazed that I've never heard of them, because for almost 25 years we lived within a nest of Scandanavians! Most of them were Norwegian, but I think a couple of Swedes came sneaking in. I know my husband and I were asked several times who let us buy a house in that neighborhood. If you weren't Scandanavian, Lutheran, or on the faculty or staff of that little private Lutheran university you were considered an outcast, and we were none of the above. Maybe outcasts weren't allow to know about these little guys.
Or maybe that is why they let you move in, so they could send all the nissse over to your house on Christmas. :tongue:

Well that would explain a lot!

Fjosnisse are the mischevious barn nisser.
There are lots of elves and trolls in Scandinavian folklore.
Most are not terribly handsome (except those that think they are).
