@FairytalesFood@folklore A Norwegian tradition I grew up with, riffing off Day 9, was that on the farms you had to leave part of the risgrøt (rice porrige) out for creatures known as nisser to keep them happy. They were mythic beings believed to either help with or sabotage farmwork depending on their mood, and what I heard from farm relatives was that they would turn the milk still in the cows sour if they didn't get their julegrøt (xmas porridge).
