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.
Santa is sure to love filling up this Christmas stocking! The gonk style Christmas stocking is made from soft knit felt and fleece fabrics. With a long white beard, cute pink nose, striped arms, and pom poms, it`s a great decoration for your festive fireplace. Choose from red or grey to match your Christmas theme.
