[Woodcarver] Nisse(Tomte) chat

[Phill Pittman]

We produce a whimsical character referred to by the Germans culture as a
"Kobold". They sound a lot like the Nisse to me.
They are attributed with doing very good things for the homestead that
invites them to stay by putting a likeness of one on the gable. They are
also credited with being incredibly " mischievous" if they have to squat
un-invited.
In dealing with clients from around the world, we have heard them referred
to as many names, but with similar qualities and personalities.

They all tend to make you smile.

Good Whitlin,
Phill Pittman
