"A tomte, nisse or tomtenisse (Sweden) (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈtɔ̀mËtÉ›]), nisse (Norway and Denmark) (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈnìsËÉ›] or Danish pronunciation: [ˈnesÉ™], Danish plural nisser) or tonttu (Finland) is a mythological creature from Scandinavian folklore typically associated with the winter solstice and the Christmas season." - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jultomten Jultomten Joulutonttuja, Julenissen, Julnissen "In Sweden, Christmas gifts are brought by the Jultomten. The word Jultomten combines the Swedish word for Christmas, Jul, with the word tomten, which means household fairy or elf. The Jultomten is often depicted as a portly gnome with a white beard and a pointed red cap ... Some writers suggest that the Scandinavian Jultomten, Julnissen, and Joulutonttuja, in turn, inspired the invention of the helpful elves who became Santa Claus's assistants in the frozen North Pole." - http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Jultomten "Cernunnos is the conventional name given in Celtic studies to depictions of the "horned god" (sometimes referred to as Herne the Hunter) of Celtic polytheism. Cernunnos was a Celtic god of fertility, life, animals, wealth, and the underworld." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cernunnos
