Drille Nisse

Every year, the kindergarten has a tradition that every day, a child will take turns to bring the Drille Nisse (teasing elf) home. The parents has to do something to their child and act as if it was the Drill Nisse who did that. It can be anything, like hiding the shoes, putting the toothbrush somewhere, etc. So, what dh and I did yesterday while DD was asleep was to stack her table and chairs up high, putting her sunglasses on Drill Nisee and arrange an F with her toys. She was surprised to see the arrangment like this this morning and said it must be me and I said no and she looked at her father and he said no too. We told her it must be the Drille Nisse. I love this tradition and think it is really fun. When dh was sharing the office building with another company, everyone plays as a Drille Nisse. We either re-arrange their office or decorate their office, put a new cup for them, sharpen their pencils, removing the batteries from their mouse, etc. Just before Christmas, everyone will get together and make a guess who their Drille Nisse was and also why they vote them as Drille Nisse of the year. I was voted as Drille Nisse once as I decorated this lady's office with chocolates and all sorts of decorations.
