Hey my darling witches, as you know the 21st is Thursday. So if you own an old house like we do, don't forget to leave out a bowl of oatmeal with a pat of butter on top for your Nisse, Tomte house gnome. A little dark shadow that darts around in the background and helps you find your house keys and calms your pets when the storms are bad. Leave a bowl of oatmeal out for them to show that you appreciate their assistance. I've been leaving out a bowl of oatmeal ever since we bought this house and this past year I have seen those little shadows and those tiny hands peeking out from underneath entertainment center's darting behind the fridge. I know I've got one and I'm going to leave them some oatmeal this year. Like I do every year. You leave out a bowl of oatmeal on the winter solstice to show them that you appreciate their help. It's also said that if you don't do that they get spicy on you and you don't want a spicy gnome.
