“Midvinternattens köld är hård,
stjärnorna gnistra och glimma.
Alla sova i enslig gård
djupt under midnattstimma.
Månen vandrar sin tysta ban,
snön lyser vit på fur och gran,
snön lyser vit på taken.
Endast tomten är vaken.”
English translation:
“Harsh is the cold of Midwinter's night,
the stars sparkle and twinkle.
All asleep in lonely farm,
deep during midnight hour.
The moon wanders its silent path,
the snow gleams white on pine and fir,
the snow gleams white on the roofs.
Only the tomte is awake.”
The first segment of the Yule poem "Tomten" by Viktor Rydberg.

My Yule Saga - 2nd Advent and our Tomte
Happy second advent! Today I talk a little bit about our Tomte and make him an offering of porridge, make a gingerbread house and talk about how we used to celebrate in the olden days.
I hope you are enjoying my Yule series, if you have any suggestions…
