Christmas gonks — unique little figurines with long bushy beards and knitted hats — are often considered to be the Nordic version of Santa Claus. Inspired by gnomes and hobgoblins found in Scandinavian and Nordic mythology, their popularity has been continuing to surge over the years. It is also said that the first mention of a gonk dates as far back as 1600 in Norway, and possibly even as early as the 13th Century. A well-known motif of Nordic folklore, the gonk is part protector, part Elf on a Shelf.
This cute Christmas Gonk is so soft and fluffy! The large festive gnome figure from Mr. Crimbo has a Fair Isle pattern jumper, a chunky thick fleece hat, and a long white fluffy beard.
