A bench for elves…. - a photo on Flickriver

            This is a bench or throne upon which the children of Iceland can sit and talk to the elves or trolls around Christmas time.  “Everyone has heard of Father Christmas, but in Iceland they have some more… ‘unusual’ festive visitors who creep around leaving presents on children’s windowsills from December 12th until Christmas Eve. These Icelandic versions of Santa Claus are mischievous trolls who come down from the mountains before Christmas to leave gifts for children who have been good – or a potato for those who have been naughty!”  I’m pretty sure I would have gotten the potato….
