Holiday spirits

The legend of Tomte. Also named Nisse in Norway or Denmark and Tonttu in Finland. They are solitary and mischievous domestic spirits who protect farmsteads and their families and animals. Folklore says they originated from the soul of the first farmer and are ancestral figures who command respect. Their name and figures were imagined by farmers from years gone by, who were often isolated and it helped them live through the cold and dark winter months. A tomte is described as, a little bearded man, just three feet high, with a long beard and scruffy plain clothes. His feet are covered in traditional work boots and he sports a red cap!  Tomte love to work but will not tolerate any interference.. They say a dirty house or stables, or treating animals unfairly, will surely upset your tomte and if anyone spills anything, legend says they are told to SHOUT out to warn the tomte not to fall into the puddle!  A clean house or farm is a clear sign a tomte spirit resides there…. If you offend your tomte he may play some pranks on you! He might do little things such as turning buckets upside down or will tie the cow’s tails together…. So you know when something strange happens you may have offended your little tomte.
In the country he will reside in the pantry or barn and if you move to the towns and cities he stay beneath your floorboards. These little spirit’s are treasured by all, wherever you live.
Tomte need very little from us humans, but they do demand the trust and respect of their homeowners. If respect is lacking from anyone who lives on the farmstead then they will not remain and the inhabitants of the farm will not thrive!
They ask that once a year on Christmas Eve, they have a bowl of their favourite food (julgröt) Christmas porridge, as thanks for their protection throughout the year. A tomte”s porridge is his due and it must be topped with a generous knob of butter! In the old days, butter was a luxury and only consumed on special occasions, the addition of a knob of butter in the Tomte’s porridge shows him your respect and thanks  to him for protecting you and yours for the year.

 Orange Spice Bath Salt

Ingredients

1 lb. Dead Sea Salts

Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil

Optional:

Red and Yellow Mica Powder

Istructions 

 Use WAY more orange essential oil because the cinnamon is so potent. Start with a small amount, mix it all up, smell it and then decide if you need more oil and add from there. This ensures that you won’t add too much fragrance and over saturate the salts. 

Stir, stir stir.

At first the oils will seem to clump right where you add them. As you continue to mix you’ll see the clumps break down and disperse throughout the mixture evenly.

Here comes the optional part of this recipe:

The orange essential oil colors the salts slightly with a soft, yellow color. If you like it, stop here. No need to do anything else! But if you’re hoping for a deeper color, add in a little mica powder. For a nice orange color I mixed a small amount of red with a little yellow (using more yellow than red).

Jelly Soap 

Ingredients

gelatine pacets

3/4 cups of boiling water

1/2 liquid soap

spray bottle of rubbing alcohol

In addition to those ingredients you can add food coloring, scented oils, glitter, or even small toys.

Instructions

Add 2 pacets of gelatine to a large bowl and stir in the water. Then stir in the liquid soap and stir in the food coloring and fragrance if desired.

Get rid of the bubbles by spraying with rubbing alcohol. Carefully pour into silicone mold or jar.

Refrigerate for two hours.

These are real, functional soaps!  You can’t get much foam out of them, but it creates a decent amount of lather when you rub one between wet hands.

DO NOT eat them.

Friends - Advice from Chandler

Ample make this bed.

Make this bed with awe;

In it wait till judgment break

Excellent and fair.

Be its mattress straight,

Be its pillow round;

Let no sunrise' yellow noise

Interrupt this ground.

After you

I swallowed. "Mum, you're not going to get divorced, are you?
Her eyes shot open. "Divorced? I'm a good Catholic girl, Louisa. We don't divorce. We just make our men suffer for all eternity."

I am a nice person...

"Kétféle mérges ember van: az őrjöngő és az elfojtó. Az őrjöngő az a vásárló, aki üvöltözik a pénztárnál, mert nem fogadják el a lejárt étkezési utalványát. A másik az elfojtó, azaz a pénztáros, aki egész nap nyeli a hülyeséget, aztán kinyír mindenkit. Te a pénztáros vagy." - Dr. Buddy

Exactly how it feels

"It feels like someone kicked you in the stomach, feels like your heart stopped beating, feels like that dream, you know the one, when you are falling and you want so desperately to wake up before you hit the ground but it's all out of your control, you can't trust anything anymore, no-one is who they say they are, your life is changed forever, and the only thing to come out of the whole ugly experience is no-one will be able to break your heart like that again."

Friends - The Erogenous Zones

"A napfogyatkozásban, az éjszakában, a koromsötétben még a legbátrabbakon is erőt vesz a szorongás.Senki sem járhat egyedül az erdőben úgy, hogy ne remegne.
Árnyak és fák: két félelmetes sűrűség. Valami megtévesztő valóság bukkan fel a derengő mélységben. Az elképzelhetetlen ölt alakot néhány lépésnyire előtted kísérteties világossággal. A térben vagy a tulajdon agyvelejében az ember valami megnevezhetetlenül bizonytalant és megfoghatatlant lát úszkálni, mintha szunnyadó virágok álma volna. Vad jelenések villannak a látóhatáron. Belélegzed a nagy üres feketeség áramlásait. Az ember fél, és szeretne hátranézni. Az éjszaka mélységeivel, a megriadt tárgyakkal, a hallgatag körvonalakkal, amelyek szétfoszlanak, amint közeledünk hozzájuk, a homályos kuszaságokkal, az izgatott facsoportokkal, a sötét tócsákkal, a komorságban tükröződő szomorúsággal, a csend síri végtelenségével, minden elképzelhető ismeretlen lénnyel, a titokzatos ágak hajladozásával, a megdöbbentő facsonkokkal, a remegő hosszú fűcsomókkal szemben az ember egészen védtelen." -Victor Hugo
